amdgpu_vm_tlb_seq(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… amdgpu_vm_tlb_seq β€” return tlb flush sequence number

okay so bestie, welcome to amdgpu_vm_tlb_seq(9) from the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for how much it does with so little.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t amdgpu_vm_tlb_seq (struct amdgpu_vm *vm );

like yes that's the whole thing, she's compact πŸ’…


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vm β€” the amdgpu_vm structure to query. that's it, that's the one input, she's low maintenance 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Returns the tlb flush sequence number πŸ”₯

and what does that number mean, you ask? okay so: whenever this sequence number changes, that's your signal that the VM TLBs need to be invalidated. that's the whole vibe check β€” number changed, TLBs gotta get flushed, no cap πŸ’€

so like, compare the number you got before with the number you get now, and if they don't match it's giving "go invalidate those TLBs" ✨

fr fr double-check against the actual amdgpu_vm struct before you go comparing sequence numbers, bestie β€” the header file is right there and she's your friend πŸ’œ

and that's the page!! 🌈 this masterpiece lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and it's from the Kernel API Manual β€” slay, periodt, go flush those TLBs πŸ’…βœ¨πŸ“
