💅 NAME 💅

vm_normal_page_pud — the girl whose whole job is grabbing the "struct page" that's linked up with a PUD 🫶

So like, if you're ever sitting there wondering "hiii which struct page is this PUD dating," this function is literally your answer. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct page * vm_normal_page_pud (struct vm_area_struct *vma , unsigned
long addr , pud_t pud );

Yeah bestie, that's the whole signature — three arguments in, one struct page * out. Slay. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vma — the VMA that's out here mapping the pud. It's giving "the context, the backstory, the whole vibe." 🦋
  • addr — the address where the pud is mapped. Like, where is this thing living. 📍
  • pud — the PUD. That's it, that's the argument. iconic. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the entire mission here is: get the "struct page" that's associated with a PUD. That's the whole thing. ✨

Now, if you wanna know what makes a mapping "normal" versus "special" — like, the actual lore, the deep background — you gotta go read __vm_normal_page for those details. This page isn't gonna spell it out for you, and honestly? Respect. iykyk. 🧚

💖 RETURN 💖

  • Returns the "struct page" if this is a "normal" mapping. 🎉
  • Returns NULL if this is a "special" mapping. 😭

So basically a vibe check: normal → you get a page, special → you get NULL, no cap.
