drm_gem_vm_close(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so drm_gem_vm_close(9) from the Kernel API Manual is literally the vma->ops->close implementation for GEM. That's the name, that's the vibe, and yes it's giving kernel callback realness ✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_vm_close (struct vm_area_struct *vma );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vma — VM area structure. that's the whole argument, bestie 🫶.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This function implements the #vm_operations_struct close callback for GEM drivers. No cap. It must be used together with drm_gem_vm_open — they're a package deal, bestie, don't split them up 🙈.
