✨ amdgpu_gart_...e_vram_alloc(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this is the amdgpu_gart_...e_vram_alloc(9) page — it's giving "allocate vram for gart page table" and honestly it's a tiny little kernel helper with main-character energy. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int amdgpu_gart_table_vram_alloc (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋
