hl_fw_dynam...memory_bound(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to hl_fw_dynam...memory_bound(9) from the Kernel API Manual! 🫶

hl_fw_dynamic_validate_memory_bound — validate memory bounds for memory transfer (image or descriptor) between host and FW. It’s giving tiny-but-important gatekeeper energy, fr fr. 💅

---

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

int hl_fw_dynamic_validate_memory_bound (struct hl_device *hdev , u64
       addr , size_t size , struct pci_mem_region *region );

bestie, look at that signature — it’s literally the whole cast of characters for this function. 🎀

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• hdev — pointer to the habanalabs device structure. Main character device pointer energy. 👑
• addr — device address of memory transfer. The address in question. 📍
• size — memory transfer size. How much we’re moving, no cap. 📏
• region — PCI memory region. The region doing region things. 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Return 0 on success, otherwise non-zero error code. Periodt. ✨

That’s the whole description, bestie — short, sweet, and very “the function said what it said.” 💀
