✨ amdgpu_preempt_mgr_new(9) ✨

Hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a function called amdgpu_preempt_mgr_new and honestly? It's giving "fake it till you make it" energy, but in the most iconic way. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_preempt_mgr_new (struct ttm_resource_manager *man , struct
ttm_buffer_object *tbo , const struct ttm_place *place , struct
ttm_resource **res );

Like, four whole arguments, returns an int, we love a classic signature 🫶

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • man — the TTM memory type manager. She's the boss of this whole memory type, okurrr 👑
  • tbo — the TTM BO (buffer object) that we need this range for. Like, who's asking? This baddie right here ✨
  • place — the placement flags and restrictions. Basically the vibe check for where things can go 🌈
  • res — the TTM memory object. The output slot, lowkey the main character of the out-params 💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ this function is a dummy. Yep, literally. It doesn't allocate any resources and it doesn't impose any limit — all it does is count the space used. That's it. That's the whole function. No cap 😭

Think of it as a little tally-counter bestie who just keeps track of how much is being used without actually doing the heavy lifting. She's not allocating, she's not restricting, she's just... counting 💀 and honestly? Respect. Slay, little dummy function, slay 🎀

Fr fr, don't come here expecting real allocation — that is not the vibe of this one 🙈
