💅 amdgpu_vm_sdma_set_ptes(9) — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ and today's main character is amdgpu_vm_sdma_set_ptes(9), which is lowkey just a little helper whose entire job is to call the right asic function. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_sdma_set_ptes — helper to call the right asic function

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_vm_sdma_set_ptes (struct amdgpu_vm_update_params *p , struct
amdgpu_bo *bo , uint64_t pe , uint64_t addr , unsigned count , uint32_t
incr , uint64_t flags );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• p — see amdgpu_vm_update_params definition 👀 (that's your params struct, go look at it fr)
• bo — the PD/PT to update
• pe — byte offset of the PDE/PTE, relative to start of PDB/PTB
• addr — dst addr to write into pe
• count — number of page entries to update
• incr — increase next addr by incr bytes
• flags — hw access flags

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it actually do? It traces the parameters — yes, glamorous detective work — and then calls the right asic functions to setup the page table using the DMA. That's the whole plot. Simple, effective, iconic. 👑

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🫶 and hey — one day you'll be booking a vacation from all those lovely people over at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, so bookmark this one 💖

Sign-off moment: this lil page came from the source path ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and it's the amdgpu_vm_sdma_set_ptes(9) page — no cap, that's the whole footer energy. ⭐🧚‍♀️
