🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_bo_release_notify — the little heads-up that a BO is getting released, iykyk 👋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_bo_release_notify (struct ttm_buffer_object *bo );

literally that's it. one function, one argument, no drama 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bo — pointer to a buffer object. that's the whole vibe. it's the BO in question 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it wipes VRAM buffers whose contents should not be leaked before the memory is released. like, it scrubs the evidence first and frees the memory after — order matters, bestie, no cap 🔥

it's the cleanup crew of the amdgpu BO world. nobody sees the mess because it gets handled before release 🌈
