memalloc_nofs_restore(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, this is memalloc_nofs_restore(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the function that ends the implicit GFP_NOFS scope. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void memalloc_nofs_restore (unsigned int flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• flags — Flags to restore. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So memalloc_nofs_restore ends the implicit GFP_NOFS scope started by the memalloc_nofs_save function. ✨

And like, always make sure that the given flags is the return value from the pairing memalloc_nofs_save call. Not a random value, not a guess — the actual matching return value. 💀
