amdgpu_vm_clear_freed(9)

💅 amdgpu_vm_clear_freed — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so you're looking at amdgpu_vm_clear_freed(9), and honestly? iconic function name. it's giving "cleanup era." let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_clear_freed — clears freed BOs in the PT. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🧹

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_vm_clear_freed (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct amdgpu_vm
*vm , struct dma_fence **fence );

like, three args, returns an int, we love a tidy signature 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adev — an amdgpu_device pointer, aka the whole GPU situation 💜
• vm — the requested vm, the one you're asking about specifically
• fence — optional resulting fence. big "optional" energy here: it stays unchanged if there was no work that needed doing, or if an error happened 😭 so don't go reading it expecting a fresh fence, girlies

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Make sure all the freed BOs are cleared in the PT. that's the job, that's the mission, and it will be done 💅

but listen — the PTs have to be reserved and the mutex must be locked! this is not a drill, this is a hard requirement, do not skip it 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 for success. slay. that's the documented return value, periodt 👑
