okay so quick vibe check first: this lil page is literally titled megaraid_mb...up_dma_pools(9) on the header (yes the name gets truncated, that's just how it's printed, don't @ me) and it comes to us from the Kernel API Manual. it's a whole kernel function page and we are gonna get through it together 🫶
