π undo_isolate_page_range(9) β bestie's guide to un-isolating π
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. π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
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. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
start_pfnβ the first PFN of the isolated range. like, where the whole thing kicks off. the opening act. πend_pfnβ the last PFN of the isolated range. the grand finale. the closing credits. π¬
both of these are unsigned long, and both are PFNs, not addresses, not vibes β keep them straight, iykyk. π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
this function finds and unsets every MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block in the given range. that's the whole story, and it ate. π
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. β¨
