drm_gpuvm_get(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is drm_gpuvm_get(9) — acquire a struct drm_gpuvm reference. that’s the whole vibe: you’re grabbing one more reference to a drm_gpuvm, bestie. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_gpuvm * drm_gpuvm_get (struct drm_gpuvm *gpuvm );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gpuvm — the drm_gpuvm to acquire the reference of. that’s the one you’re pointing at, bestie. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function acquires an additional reference to gpuvm. no cap, that’s the whole job.

It is illegal to call this without already holding a reference. not me showing up empty-handed and expecting a reference anyway 😭

No locks required. lowkey convenient, highkey still respect the existing-reference rule.

⚠️ bestie, for real: you must already hold a reference before calling this. no existing reference = illegal call. the lock situation is chill, but the reference situation is not a drill. 💀

---

💖 RETURN 💖

the struct drm_gpuvm pointer. that’s it, that’s the return. 👑
