amdgpu_vm_bo_base_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 amdgpu_vm_bo_base_init — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the star of the show is amdgpu_vm_bo_base_init. No cap, it's a small function but it does a very real job, so let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_bo_base_init — Adds bo to the list of bos associated with the vm 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_vm_bo_base_init (struct amdgpu_vm_bo_base *base , struct
amdgpu_vm *vm , struct amdgpu_bo *bo );

Literally just three pointers and a dream, iykyk 💜

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • base — the base structure for tracking BO usage in a VM. She's the record-keeper, the main character of the bookkeeping 💅
  • vm — the vm to which bo is to be added. Like, the whole address-space situation the bo is moving into 🏠
  • bo — an amdgpu buffer object. The bo in question. The icon itself 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does it actually do? It initializes a bo_va_base structure and adds it to the appropriate lists. That's the whole vibe — set the thing up, then slot it into the right list(s) so the VM knows this bo exists. Periodt. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

This is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral with cross-references, and honestly? Respect. Every single one, in order, no skips 🔥

Like I said — every single one. Obsessed with the thoroughness ngl 🌟
