πŸ’… undo_isolate_page_range(9) β€” bestie's guide to un-isolating πŸ’…

okay so real talk, the manual name is undo_isolate_page_range(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual β€” which, iconic. it's the cleanup crew of the page isolation world, and honestly? we love a function that knows its job is to put things back. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

undo_isolate_page_range β€” literally just undoes the effects of start_isolate_page_range(). that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void undo_isolate_page_range (unsigned long start_pfn , unsigned long
       end_pfn );

yes bestie, it returns void β€” it gives nothing back except peace of mind and a fully un-isolated range. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • start_pfn β€” the first PFN of the isolated range. like, where the whole thing kicks off. the opening act. 🌟
  • end_pfn β€” the last PFN of the isolated range. the grand finale. the closing credits. 🎬
both of these are unsigned long, and both are PFNs, not addresses, not vibes β€” keep them straight, iykyk. πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

this function finds and unsets every MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block in the given range. that's the whole story, and it ate. πŸ‘‘

the way that it just sweeps through the range from start_pfn to end_pfn and flips every single MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block back to... not that. main character energy fr fr. the range goes in, the isolation comes out, and everything is slaying in its wake. ✨
