💅 vgic_prune_ap_list(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's all about one little function called vgic_prune_ap_list. it lives in the arm64 KVM vgic corner of the kernel and honestly? it's giving janitor energy in the best way possible 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vgic_prune_ap_list — remove non-relevant interrupts from the list 🗑️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void vgic_prune_ap_list (struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu );

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does it actually do? it goes over the list of "interesting" interrupts, and prunes those that we won't have to consider in the near future ✂️🌿

like, it's literally a vibe check for interrupts. some of them are not relevant anymore, not relevant soon, and they simply do not need to be on the list taking up space. so they get pruned. periodt. 💅

ngl the quotes around "interesting" are doing a lot of heavy lifting here and we respect that 🙈
