💖 drm_gpusvm_range_get(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you're reading the drm_gpusvm_range_get(9) page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a short one, which means we can absolutely gag over it properly. it's a tiny little refcount glow-up and it's lowkey iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gpusvm_range_get — get a reference to a GPU SVM range 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_gpusvm_range * drm_gpusvm_range_get (struct drm_gpusvm_range
*range );

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer in, one pointer out 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • range — pointer to the GPU SVM range. literally just a pointer to the range, bestie, no cap 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this function increments the reference count of the specified GPU SVM range. that's the whole job. she's a one-task queen and she ate 👑

so when you call her, that range you handed over gets one more ref on it, meaning it's now a little more protected from being yeeted out of existence. it's giving "hold my hand so i don't get freed" energy, fr fr 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

a pointer to the GPU SVM range. yes, the same range. she returns the range pointer back to you like "here you go bestie, it's yours" 🫶✨
