📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i915_gem_ob...ds_ccs_pages(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the whole vibe, we're in the kernel docs bestie, act accordingly ✨). Buckle up, it's a tiny one but it's important.

🎀 NAME 🎀

i915_gem_object_needs_ccs_pages — literally just "does this object need extra pages or not" 💖

Like, specifically: check whether the object requires extra pages when it's placed in system-memory, so we can save and later restore the flat-CCS aux state when the object gets moved between local-memory and system-memory. No cap, that's the whole gig. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool i915_gem_object_needs_ccs_pages (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj );

one function, one pointer, one bool coming back at you. immaculate. 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • obj — Pointer to the object 🫶 (that's it, that's the argument, she's lowkey simple and we respect that)

💜 RETURN 💜

  • True if the object needs extra ccs pages 🔥
  • False otherwise 💀

binary queen. no in-between. 🌈

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

like, the entire i915_gem_object cinematic universe. iykyk 💅

lowkey a reminder: this one's a bool return, so don't go looking for error codes in here — it's true or false and that's the tea ☕

and that's the page, bestie!! 🎀 source came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem, dated October 2026, and it's the i915_gem_ob...ds_ccs_pages(9) entry — mwah, kiss the kernel for me 😭💖🦋
