drm_gpuvm_bo_put_deferred(9)

💅 drm_gpuvm_bo_put_deferred(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one lives in drm_gpuvm_bo_put_deferred(9) and it's literally the "let it go, but like... later" function for GPUVM BO references ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gpuvm_bo_put_deferred — drop a struct drm_gpuvm_bo reference with deferred cleanup 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool drm_gpuvm_bo_put_deferred (struct drm_gpuvm_bo *vm_bo );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vm_bo — the drm_gpuvm_bo you're releasing the reference of. that's the one, bestie 💖

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

This releases a reference to vm_bo. periodt.

heads up though — this might take and release the GEMs GPUVA lock 😭 so like, it's not a "fire and forget" vibe. You should call drm_gpuvm_bo_deferred_cleanup later to actually complete the cleanup process. no skipping steps, queen 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true — if vm_bo is being destroyed 💀
• false — otherwise 🙈
