okay so picture this: it's giving kernel internals, it's giving dm-vdo, and bestie we are packing 💖

✨ NAME ✨

vdo_pack_journal_point — okay so what this icon does is encode the journal location that a journal_point is carrying, and tuck it all neatly into a packed_journal_point. glow-up but for structs, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vdo_pack_journal_point (const struct journal_point *unpacked ,
struct packed_journal_point *packed );

literally that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• unpacked — the unpacked input point, aka the one coming in with her whole vibe exposed 💅
• packed — the packed output point, aka where the results go to get all compact and cozy 🫶

ngl the inverse of this is vdo_unpack_journal_point(9) so if you ever need to undo the slay, she's right there in the list 🔥
