ethosu_gem_create_object(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the ethosu_gem_create_object(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ This one is literally the implementation of driver->gem_create_object, and it’s here to explain the GEM object creation hook. No cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here’s the exact signature, copy it like your life depends on it (it doesn’t, but respect the C):

struct drm_gem_object * ethosu_gem_create_object (struct drm_device *ddev , size_t size );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ddev — the DRM device, periodt. 🎀
• size — Size in bytes of the memory the object will reference. Yep, bytes, not vibes. 💅

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

The way this works is lowkey iconic: it lets the GEM helpers allocate object structs for us, and it keeps our BO stats correct. That’s the whole tea. ✨
