✨ amdgpu_vram_mgr_clear_reset_blocks — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, we're reading a kernel API page together and honestly? it's a whole vibe. the manual name is literally Kernel API Manual, which is giving "the library is open" energy. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

that's it. that's the name. short, sweet, and she ate that. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_vram_mgr_clear_reset_blocks (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

so we're calling this function, it returns void (nothing back, she just does the thing and leaves ✨), and it takes exactly one argument. periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — amdgpu device pointer. that's your whole amdgpu device, like, the main character of the operation. hand her over and let the function cook. 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the deed: this function resets the cleared drm buddy blocks. literally that's the whole job. the cleared blocks get reset. she's not doing a whole extra side quest, she's just resetting the clears. iconic behavior honestly. 🫶

ngl if you came here looking for lore, there isn't more lore. the description is three words of pure purpose and i respect it. 🔥
