💅 amdgpu_vm_bo_insert_map — a Kernel API Manual moment (yes bestie, amdgpu_vm_bo_insert_map(9), we're in the kernel docs now)

Ok so picture this: you're deep in the AMDGPU virtual memory code, and you need a mapping to exist in the data structures. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_bo_insert_map — insert a new mapping 💖

Like, literally just insert a new mapping. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_vm_bo_insert_map (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct amdgpu_bo_va *bo_va , struct amdgpu_bo_va_mapping *mapping );

Notice it returns void?? Yeah. It does the thing and doesn't even ask for a thank-you. Main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. Yep, that's your device, the whole entire GPU situation 💅
  • bo_va — the bo_va where the address gets stored. It's the little guy holding the address, okurrr 🦋
  • mapping — the mapping you're inserting. Like, the actual mapping. The one. Your star ⭐

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So what does it do? It inserts a new mapping into all the structures.

All of them. Every structure that needs to know. It's giving "tell everyone, no secrets" 🌈
