💅 topology_ap...limits_early(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that manual, the one you keep opening at 2am. this page is about topology_apply_cmdline_limits_early, and ngl it's short, but it's important, so pay attention 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

topology_apply_cmdline_limits_early — Apply topology command line limits early

like, it does exactly what it says on the label, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void topology_apply_cmdline_limits_early (void );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. void in, void out 💀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• void — no arguments

literally zero. nothing. nada. she takes no notes, she takes no input, she simply is 😭👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea, bestie ☕: this function makes sure that the command line limits are in effect before firmware parsing takes place. that's the whole job. that's her main character energy.

think of it like getting dressed before the party even starts — the limits gotta be locked in first, otherwise the firmware walk in and nobody's ready. periodt 💅

fr fr, don't sleep on the ordering here — the "early" in the name is doing a LOT of work 👀
