vmw_mksstat_...p_descriptor(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to vmw_mksstat_cleanup_descriptor — she's the one who frees a single userspace-originating mksGuestStat instance-descriptor page and unpins all the related user pages while she's at it. literally the cleanup crew, the friend who stays after the party and helps you take the trash out 🫶

this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, if you were wondering where we're at rn ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_mksstat_cleanup_descriptor (struct page *page );

that's it. one arg, no return value, she just does her thing 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• page — the page of the instance descriptor. yes, that page. the one we're cleaning up. the main character of this whole operation 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this function unpins all the user pages related to this instance descriptor, and then it frees the instance-descriptor page itself. like, unpin everybody first, then let the descriptor page go. order matters, bestie, that's the whole vibe 💀

no cap, that's the entire job. clean, simple, iconic.
