GPU_BUDDY_RANGE_ALLOCATION(9)

hiii bestie 💖 welcome to GPU_BUDDY_RANGE_ALLOCATION(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one is short, iconic, and very range-coded 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

GPU_BUDDY_RANGE_ALLOCATION — allocate inside a specific address range, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

GPU_BUDDY_RANGE_ALLOCATION

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so when this flag is set, allocation is restricted to the range [start, end) that you specified in gpu_buddy_alloc_blocks. that's the whole vibe ✨

without this flag? start and end are ignored, and allocation can use any free space. no cap 🫶
