amdgpu_bo_reserve(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to amdgpu_bo_reserve(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is short but it's doing important work: reserving a bo, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_bo_reserve — reserve bo

Like... the name is right there. reserve. bo. iconic behavior.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_bo_reserve (struct amdgpu_bo *bo , bool no_intr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bo — the bo structure 🫶
  • no_intr — don't return -ERESTARTSYS on pending signal; that's the whole vibe of this flag 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

-ERESTARTSYS: a wait for the buffer to become unreserved was interrupted by a signal. Release all buffer reservations and return to user-space. So if that wait gets interrupted, that's the comeback — handle your cleanup, bestie, and head back to user-space. 💅

That's the return case listed here, and the instruction is clear: release all buffer reservations and return to user-space.
