💖 __i915_gem_o...ke_purgeable(9) 💖

hii bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this page is __i915_gem_o...ke_purgeable(9), and yes the title is giving truncated keyboard smash, but we’re here and we’re slaying. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__i915_gem_object_make_purgeable — move the object to the tail of the purgeable list. Objects on this list might be swapped out. Used with DONTNEED objects.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __i915_gem_object_make_purgeable (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj
);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• obj — the GEM object, periodt.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so first thing first, bestie: DO NOT USE. not “use it carefully,” not “use it if you’re built different” — literally DO NOT USE. 😭

This is intended to be called on very special objects that don't yet have mm.pages, but are guaranteed to have potentially reclaimable pages underneath. that’s the whole vibe. no extra lore. no secret bonus behavior. 🫶
