💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to vmcoredd_update_size(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the whole manual, we're here. This function updates the total size of the device dumps and updates the ELF header. No cap, that's the assignment 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmcoredd_update_size (size_t dump_size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dump_size — the size of the current device dump that's being added to the total size. That's the one number this function needs, bestie 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: vmcoredd_update_size updates the total size of all the device dumps and updates the ELF program headers. It also calculates the new offsets for the vmcore list and updates the total vmcore size. Literally the whole point is handling those sizes and offsets, and it ate 🔥
