amdgpu_bo_create(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 amdgpu_bo_create(9)

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (amdgpu_bo_create(9)), and bestie, it's literally the birth page for buffer objects. short page, big job. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_bo_create — create an &amdgpu_bo buffer object

like, you're making a whole BO. that's the vibe. no cap. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_bo_create (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
       amdgpu_bo_param *bp , struct amdgpu_bo **bo_ptr );

so it hands back an int, takes three things, and honestly it's giving "trust the process" energy ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — the amdgpu device object. the main character, fr. everything happens inside this thing 👑
  • bp — the parameters to be used for the buffer object. yes, bp as in "buffer object params". icon behavior 🦋
  • bo_ptr — a pointer to the buffer object pointer. double pointer moment. lowkey the way this works is it fills in your pointer, so come correct 💅

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Creates an amdgpu_bo buffer object.

that's it. that's the whole description. short and slay. not me expecting a whole essay and getting one sentence 😭 but honestly? confident. concise. main character energy ⭐

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0 for success or a negative error code on failure.

so like — check it. always check it. a negative number means something went sideways 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c

and the whole extended friend group omg there are SO many of them, but every single one is iconic in its own way:

periodt. that's the whole squad 💜

ok and one last thing — this page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, it's October 2026 coded, and it's filed under amdgpu_bo_create(9). go read the source, bestie, it's right there. mwah 💋🎀
