vmw_validation_align(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, meet vmw_validation_align(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally here to Align a validation memory allocation. That's the whole main-character job. No cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int vmw_validation_align (unsigned int val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• val — the size to be aligned. That's the input, bestie, and it's giving “just tell me the size and I'll handle the rest.” 🫶

💅 RETURN 💅

It returns val aligned to the granularity used by the validation memory allocator. So same value energy, but snapped to the allocator's grid. ✨
