💖 amdgpu_gmc_vram_location 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel docs, we're being fancy today 👑 — and it's all about one little function that tries to find VRAM a home. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_gmc_vram_location — try to find VRAM location 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void amdgpu_gmc_vram_location (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
       amdgpu_gmc *mc , u64 base );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • adev — the amdgpu device structure, and it's lowkey carrying all the necessary information for this whole operation. main character struct, honestly 💅
  • mc — the memory controller structure, holding all the memory info. it's giving "keeper of the memory lore" 🧚
  • base — the base address where we're trying to put VRAM. that's the spot bestie 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do? the function will try to place VRAM at the base address that you passed in as a parameter. that's it, that's the vibe ✨
