I915_VM_CREA..._USE_VM_BIND(9)

💖 I915_VM_CREATE_FLAGS_USE_VM_BIND 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this page is all about I915_VM_CREATE_FLAGS_USE_VM_BIND, and yes the name is long but she's iconic 💅✨

I915_VM_CREATE_FLAGS_USE_VM_BIND is the flag to opt-in for VM_BIND mode of binding during VM creation. See the flags in struct drm_i915_gem_vm_control 👀.

The older execbuf2 ioctl will not support VM_BIND mode of operation — so don't try it, bestie 😭💀. For VM_BIND mode, we have new execbuf3 ioctl which will not accept any execlist (See struct drm_i915_gem_execbuffer3 for more details).
