✨ page_reporting_notify_free(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it is lowkey a tiny little gatekeeper function with main-character energy πŸ‘‘


🌟 NAME 🌟

page_reporting_notify_free β€” free page notification to start page processing πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void page_reporting_notify_free (unsigned int order );

πŸ’… ARGUMENTS πŸ’…

  • order β€” -- undescribed -- ... yeah, fr fr, the original page literally does not describe it πŸ™ˆ the mystery is part of the vibe, iykyk πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

This function is meant to act as a screener for __page_reporting_notify, which will determine if a give zone has crossed over the high-water mark that will justify us beginning page treatment. If we have crossed that threshold, then it will start the process of pulling some pages and placing them in the batch list for treatment ✨

It's giving "check the vibe, then start the whole page-processing situation" πŸ’– __page_reporting_notify is the one doing the actual deciding; this function is the screener in front of it. If a zone has crossed that high-water mark, page treatment can begin, and some pages get pulled and placed in the batch list for treatment. Periodt 🫢

no cap: the original argument description for order is literally -- undescribed --, so we're not out here inventing lore 😭
