💅 mei_cl_vtag_alloc(9) — like, the whole glow-up guide ✨

okay so picture this: it's a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to tell you everything about mei_cl_vtag_alloc — the little function that's basically the makeup artist for your vtag structure. slay 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

mei_cl_vtag_alloc — allocate and fill the vtag structure, bestie. that's literally the whole job. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mei_cl_vtag * mei_cl_vtag_alloc (struct file *fp , u8 vtag );

that's the whole signature, icon behavior only 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • fp — pointer to file structure. yeah, the file thing. you know the one 💅
  • vtag — vm tag. that's it, that's the tag 🏷️✨

💜 RETURN 💜

this function has exactly two moods, and honestly? same:

  • a pointer to the allocated struct — on success 🎉 iconic, flawless, ate
  • ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) — when memory allocation fails 😭 no memory, no vtag, no vibes. it's giving tragic but at least it's honest

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first of all, the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/misc/mei/client.c — that's the source, go pay your respects 🫡
