amdgpu_device_mm_access(9)
π amdgpu_device_mm_access β access vram by MM_INDEX/MM_DATA β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the amdgpu_device_mm_access(9) page from the Kernel API Manual π«Ά this one is literally all about poking at vram through MM_INDEX/MM_DATA, and we're gonna get you comfy with it, no cap.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void amdgpu_device_mm_access (struct amdgpu_device *adev , loff_t pos ,
void *buf , size_t size , bool write );
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
adevβ anamdgpu_devicepointer π like, the GPU we're talking to, periodt.posβ offset of the buffer in vram π it's giving "where in vram are we hanging out today".bufβ virtual address of the buffer in system memory π¦ the system-side buddy for the data.sizeβ read/write size, and heads up bestie:sizeof(buf)must >sizeπ don't fumble this one, fr fr.writeβtruemeans write to vram, otherwise it's read from vram π simple as that iykyk.

aaaaand that's the whole page, bestie π this cutie came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu in the October 2026 edition of the Kernel API Manual, mwah π go forth and slay your vram access π
