amdgpu_vram...eserve_range(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 amdgpu_vram_mgr_reserve_range(9) 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (the amdgpu_vram...eserve_range(9) one, yes the name is doing a little truncation moment, don't worry about it) and it's lowkey iconic for how short it is. let's get into it bestie 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vram_mgr_reserve_range — literally just reserving a range from VRAM. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_vram_mgr_reserve_range (struct amdgpu_vram_mgr *mgr ,
uint64_t start , uint64_t size );

like, she's an int returning function, she takes three things, she's booked and busy. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • mgr — a pointer to amdgpu_vram_mgr. the manager. the main character of the manager world. 👑
  • start — the start address of the range, in VRAM. where the reserving begins, basically. 🦋
  • size — the size of the range. how much we're grabbing. the amount. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Reserve memory from the start address with the specified size in VRAM. that's it, that's the whole plot. no plot twists, no cap. ✨

fr fr this is one of those manpages where the DESCRIPTION is shorter than the ARGUMENTS list, and honestly? we respect the efficiency. 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vram_mgr.c — that's the whole source file, go read it if you're feeling brave bestie 😭

and then the friend group, in the order they were introduced:

like, amdgpu_vram_mgr_init and amdgpu_vram_mgr_fini bookending the whole thing? that's a full character arc, we love a journey. 🧚💖

okay that's the whole page bestie, and before you go — this one's from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, filed under that same amdgpu_vram...eserve_range(9) title. mwah, go reserve some VRAM, slay 💅⭐
