💅 drm_gpusvm_notifier_start(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (drm_gpusvm_notifier_start(9), yes that's the whole vibe) and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a lil' one-liner function that just tells you where a GPU SVM notifier starts. the way that this is the entire manpage and i'm still gonna make it cute 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gpusvm_notifier_start — GPU SVM notifier start address, that's it, that's the whole thing 💖

---

unsigned long drm_gpusvm_notifier_start(struct drm_gpusvm_notifier *notifier);

like, you hand it a notifier and it hands you back an unsigned long. simple. iconic. no notes. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• notifier — pointer to the GPU SVM notifier. that's your one (1) job here bestie, just pass the pointer 📍
