onenand_inva...te_bufferram(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… onenand_invalidate_bufferram(9) πŸ’…

okay bestie, so this little cutie comes to you straight from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a tiny one. like, blink and you'll miss her. but we're gonna give her the full main-character treatment anyway because every function deserves love πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

onenand_invalidate_bufferram β€” like, literally [GENERIC] Invalidate BufferRAM information ✨ (yes, the [GENERIC] is part of the name, keep it, she earned it)


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the whole signature, no cap:

void onenand_invalidate_bufferram (struct mtd_info *mtd , loff_t addr ,
       unsigned int len );

void return, three args, that's the vibe 🌸


πŸ“ ARGUMENTS πŸ“

  • mtd β€” the MTD data structure, i.e. your whole device's little info packet πŸ‘‘
  • addr β€” the start address you're invalidating, like where the drama begins πŸ“
  • len β€” how long the invalidated stretch is, the length, the span, the amount 🫢

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so the entire job description here is: Invalidate BufferRAM information πŸ’€

that's it. that's the whole plot. no extra lore, no secret side quests, no hidden options β€” I'm not gonna sit here and invent behaviour that isn't in the source, because that would be lying to you and we don't do that in this group chat πŸ™ˆ

just know that when BufferRAM info needs to be marked as no-longer-trustworthy, this is the girl who does it. iconic, lowkey. ✨


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

she lives in the kernel file ./drivers/mtd/nand/onenand/onenand_base.c β€” go say hi 🫢

and because she's part of a huge family, here's the entire extended friend group, bestie, everybody gets named, no one gets left out πŸ’œ

ok that's the whole page, bestie β€” she's short, she's sweet, she invalidates BufferRAM info and she goes home. periodt. πŸ’…

and before I go: this lil masterpiece comes from ./drivers/mtd/nand/onenand, dated October 2026, and the page name is onenand_invalidate_bufferram(9) in case you forgot already 😭 mwah, bye πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸ¦‹
