💅 amdgpu_bo_fa...serve_notify(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes the truncated name is literally how it's printed, don't come for me, that's just how the header line does it. this page is about amdgpu_bo_fault_reserve_notify and it's shorter than my attention span so let's GO ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_bo_fault_reserve_notify — notification about a memory fault 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vm_fault_t amdgpu_bo_fault_reserve_notify (struct ttm_buffer_object *bo
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bo — pointer to a buffer object. that's it. that's the whole argument. she's lowkey simple like that 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what this one does: it notifies the driver that we're taking a fault on this BO and that we have reserved it — and while it's at it, it also performs bookkeeping (yes, the boring admin work, somebody has to do it 🙈).

also important, no cap: this is the TTM driver callback for dealing with vm faults. that's its whole job. main character energy in the vm fault department fr fr 👑

💖 RETURN 💖

0 for success, or a negative error code on failure. iconic either way, but like... we prefer the 0 😭

like... that's a lot of besties, but they all ate 💀💖

okay that's the whole page, mwah 🎀 this lil gem lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and the manual's dated October 2026, so yeah — future vibes only. go read the source, ily, bye 👑✨
