π amdgpu_vm_tlb_flush(9) β Kernel API Manual energy β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of the Kernel API Manual π and today's main character is amdgpu_vm_tlb_flush(9). she's short, she's sweet, she's literally just here to prepare a TLB flush and then she's out. no cap. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
amdgpu_vm_tlb_flush β prepare TLB flush πΈ
π«Ά SYNOPSIS π«Ά
void amdgpu_vm_tlb_flush (struct amdgpu_vm_update_params *params ,
struct dma_fence **fence , struct amdgpu_vm_tlb_seq_struct *tlb_cb );
like. that's the whole signature. three args, zero drama. π
π§ ARGUMENTS π§
paramsβ parameters for update. that's it, that's the vibe. your little bag of update settings πfenceβ input fence to sync TLB flush with. she's the one keeping everything on beat βtlb_cbβ the callback structure. the callback bestie in question π¦
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
So what does she actually do? Increments the tlb sequence to make sure that future CS execute a VM flush. periodt. πβ¨
that's genuinely the whole thing β she bumps the sequence so the future compute/C-something submissions know to do a VM flush. tiny function, big responsibility, main character energy honestly π note that the manpage says "CS" right there and we are not out here rewriting it, iykyk π
