💖 amdgpu_vm_wait_idle(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9 💖

okay so bestie, picture this: you've got a VM object out here living its life, doing VM things, and you just need it to chill. That's the whole gig. This little function is the "hey, are you done yet?" text you send. And yeah, it's filed under the Kernel API Manual, section 9, so you know it's driver-adjacent and important. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vm_wait_idle — wait for the VM to become idle

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

long amdgpu_vm_wait_idle (struct amdgpu_vm *vm , long timeout );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vm — the VM object you're waiting on. this is the main character of the whole operation, the one you want to go idle. 👑
  • timeout — how long you're willing to wait for the VM to actually become idle. the patience budget, basically. ⏳
ngl, the return type is long, and the synopsis is right there if you need to double-check the exact shape of it — copy it character for character, no vibes-based paraphrasing. 💅
