Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for tlb_gather_mmu_fullmm, and it's giving β€œwe're about to nuke a whole address space” energy. 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

tlb_gather_mmu_fullmm β€” initialize an mmu_gather structure for page-table tear-down. No cap, that's literally the whole vibe. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void tlb_gather_mmu_fullmm (struct mmu_gather *tlb , struct mm_struct *mm );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • tlb β€” the mmu_gather structure you're initializing, bestie. This is the lil' gather struct getting set up. πŸ’–
  • mm β€” the mm_struct of the target address space. Yes, that address space. The main character. πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

Okay so in this case, mm is without users and we're going to destroy the full address space (exit/execve). It's dramatic, but that's the assignment. πŸ’€

Called to initialize an (on-stack) mmu_gather structure for page-table tear-down from mm. That's the whole plot β€” initialize it, then let the tear-down do its thing. Periodt. πŸ’…
