DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS(9)

💖 DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS 💖

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about the default shmem GEM operations — bestie, it's a macro, it's short, it's iconic, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS — Default shmem GEM operations 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS

literally just the macro name, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this macro is a shortcut, periodt. It sets up the shmem GEM operations inside the drm_driver structure for you, so you don't have to hand-write all of them yourself — it's giving main character energy with zero effort 🌈

And like, who is this for? Drivers that do not require an s/g table for imported buffers should use this. That's the rule, no cap 👑

ngl if your driver does need an s/g table for imported buffers, this macro is not your girl 🙈
