✨ __i915_gem_o...t_pages_fini(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this one's about __i915_gem_o...t_pages_fini β€” yes the name is a whole mouthful, yes it got truncated in the header with that ..., we don't judge, we just vibe. Let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

__i915_gem_object_pages_fini β€” clean up pages use of a gem object 🧹✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void __i915_gem_object_pages_fini (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj );

πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • obj β€” the gem object you're cleaning up. that's the one, that's your main character right there πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so what this function does is clean up usage of the object's mm.pages member. periodt πŸ’…

it's meant for backends that need to clean up a gem object in separate steps β€” like, breaking up with your object but in stages, we love a gradual process 🌈 and listen: it needs to be called when the object is idle, before the object's backing memory is freed. not after, not during, before 🫢 that's the vibe check it has to pass first.

no cap, timing matters here β€” idle object, then cleanup, then free the backing memory. in that order, bestie, or it's giving chaos 😭
