💅 drm_gpusvm_range_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual page

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this is drm_gpusvm_range_put(9) and it's honestly a short one but it is so important, like the quiet kid in class who actually runs everything. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

drm_gpusvm_range_put — put a reference to GPU SVM range

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you're giving a reference back. you're releasing your grip. character development fr.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_gpusvm_range_put (struct drm_gpusvm_range *range );

no return value, no drama, no notes. it just does the thing 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • range — Pointer to the GPU SVM range

that's the one (1) thing you hand it. the range. the pointer. the whole situation. ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's what's actually happening: this function decrements the reference count of the specified GPU SVM range, and when that count reaches zero, it frees it. 🕊️

that's the entire personality. reference goes down, and if it hits zero — boom, freed. it's giving "last one out turns off the lights." it's giving "you had your turn, now release it." highkey iconic 😭

bestie pls internalize this one: the free only happens when the count reaches zero. not one, not "whenever," zero. don't be out here double-putting on a range you don't own, that's not the move 💀
