πΈ NAME πΈ
drm_gem_vram_vunmap β Unmaps and unpins a GEM VRAM object π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void drm_gem_vram_vunmap (struct drm_gem_vram_object *gbo , struct
iosys_map *map );
π ARGUMENTS π

so basically, a call to drm_gem_vram_vunmap unmaps and unpins a GEM VRAM buffer β it's giving cleanup era, it's giving "we're done here" energy π
. and if you want the full lore? go read the documentation for drm_gem_vram_vmap, that's where the story starts. π₯
ngl, unmapping is the easy part β but always make sure you actually want to let go before you call this, okay? π
