💅 amdgpu_vm_bo_move — handle BO move

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, page amdgpu_vm_bo_move(9). yeah it's a kernel function, yeah it's DRM/AMDGPU, but honestly? it's giving one-job-one-vibe and we respect it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_bo_move — handle BO move</p> 🦋 that's it, that's the whole personality. a BO moves, and this function handles it. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_vm_bo_move (struct amdgpu_bo *bo , struct ttm_resource
*new_mem , bool evicted );

returns void btw — it's not gonna hand you a result back, it just does the thing and dips 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bo — amdgpu buffer object. the main character of this whole operation, the BO in question 👑
  • new_mem — the new placement of the BO move. where it's headed, its new little home 🏠
  • evicted — is the BO evicted. a bool, so like… yes or no, girl, pick one 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does it actually do? Two things, and it does them both, periodt:

  • Update the memory stats for the new placement 📊
  • and mark bo as invalid 🙈

that's literally the whole description, and honestly? iconic. no fluff, no side quests, just stats + invalidate ✨

ngl if you're reading a section 9 kernel page for fun, you're lowkey built different and I'm obsessed 🧚✨
