ubi_eba_create_table(9)

💖 ubi_eba_create_table(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of those little functions that's giving "quiet luxury" — nobody talks about it but everything falls apart without it. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ubi_eba_create_table — allocates a brand-new EBA table and initializes it with all LEBs unmapped. that's it, that's the whole vibe. clean slate energy 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ubi_eba_table * ubi_eba_create_table (struct ubi_volume *vol ,
int nentries );

literally just hand it a volume and a number and it does the thing ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vol — the volume that contains the EBA table you wanna copy. it's the source of truth, the main character of this operation 💅
• nentries — how many entries go in the table. the size, the capacity, the how much 🧚

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does is: allocate a new EBA table, and initialize it with all LEBs unmapped. fresh table, nothing mapped yet, absolutely zero baggage. we love a blank slate 🦋

if it succeeds, you get back a valid pointer. if it doesn't? you get an ERR_PTR instead 😭 so pls check your pointers before you go dereferencing, i'm begging 🙈
