💾 kvm_vz_save_guesttlb(9) — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition 💾

okay so this is kvm_vz_save_guesttlb from the section 9 Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel API, we're literally in the big leagues now 🫶 stay with me, it's actually so simple.

✨ NAME ✨

kvm_vz_save_guesttlb — saves a whole range of guest TLB entries. that's it. that's the job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void kvm_vz_save_guesttlb (struct kvm_mips_tlb *buf , unsigned int index
, unsigned int count );

look at her. returns nothing, takes three things, gets straight to business. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• buf — the buffer where the TLB entries get written into. this is where the magic lands, bestie 💖
• index — the start index. where we begin the little journey ✨
• count — how many entries we're saving. the number of the vibes we're collecting 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: save a range of guest TLB entries. that's the whole thing. not complicated, not deep, just a range of guest TLB entries going into buf 🫶

⚠️ but listen — the caller must ensure interrupts are disabled. that part is not a suggestion, that's a requirement. do not skip it, do not pass go, do not collect $200 😭
