okay bestie so we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and the star of the show is svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work(9) β yes the header be truncating it like svm_range_li...d_flush_work(9), don't let that jump-scare you π
πΈ NAME πΈ
svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work β flush pending deferred work β¨ (that's literally the whole assignment, she's focused π)
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work (struct svm_range_list *svms ,
struct mm_struct *mm );
it's giving "void, no return value, all vibes" π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
svmsβ the svm range list π like, the actual list we're messing with, main character energymmβ the mm structure π the memory-map thing, you know her
π CONTEXT π
Returns with mmap write lock held, pending deferred work flushed π₯
so when this bad girl returns, two things are true, periodt: the mmap write lock is held, and the pending deferred work has been flushed β¨ no cap, that's the contract, respect it π
