💖 i915_ggtt_suspend_vm(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for i915_ggtt_suspend_vm — yes that's the manual name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, it's iconic as is 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i915_ggtt_suspend_vm — literally just suspends the memory mappings for a GGTT or DPT VM, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i915_ggtt_suspend_vm (struct i915_address_space *vm , bool
       evict_all );

that's it. that's the signature. copy it exactly, don't get cute with it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vm — the VM whose mappings you're suspending, aka the main character of this operation 👑
  • evict_all — a bool that evicts all VMAs. yes, all of them. no cap.

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what this does: it suspends the memory mappings for all objects mapped to HW via the GGTT or a DPT page table. that's the whole job, and it does it slayfully ✨

like, every object that's currently living its best life mapped to hardware? mappings? suspended. periodt. 🫶

no extra lore, no secret side quests — just the suspend. fr fr.

ngl this is the kind of function that just does its thing and doesn't need a whole essay, and honestly? respect 😭
