Hi Geert,
We constraints valid inputs as [0, UCHAR_MAX], so the code follows the
comment as below.
/*
* Free reserved pages within range [PAGE_ALIGN(start), end & PAGE_MASK)
* into the buddy system. The freed pages will be poisoned with pattern
* "poison" if it's within range [0, UCHAR_MAX].
* Return pages freed into the buddy system.
*/
Regards!
