🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_vma_resource_init — Initialize a vma resource. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i915_vma_resource_init (struct i915_vma_resource *vma_res , struct
i915_address_space *vm , struct sg_table *pages , const struct
i915_page_sizes *page_sizes , struct i915_refct_sgt *pages_rsgt , bool
readonly , bool lmem , struct intel_memory_region *mr , const struct
i915_vma_ops *ops , void *private , u64 start , u64 node_size , u64 size
, u32 guard );

like, yes, that's a lot of arguments. she's high-maintenance and we love her for it 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vma_res — The vma resource to initialize. the main character of this whole operation 🫶
• vm — Pointer to the vm.
• pages — The pages sg-table.
• page_sizes — Page sizes of the pages. she knows her measurements 💅
• pages_rsgt — Pointer to a struct i915_refct_sgt of an object with delayed destruction. delayed, not cancelled — do not come for her 🕐
• readonly — Whether the vma should be bound read-only. no writing allowed, hands off 🚫
• lmem — Whether the vma points to lmem.
• mr — The memory region of the object the vma points to.
• ops — The backend ops.
• private — Bind backend private info. her diary, basically 🙈
• start — Offset into the address space of bind range start after padding.
• node_size — Size of the allocated range manager node minus padding. minus! padding! 📏
• size — Bind size.
• guard — The size of the guard area preceding and trailing the bind. she comes with security, literally both sides 🛡️

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Initializes a vma resource allocated using i915_vma_resource_alloc. 🌈

and the reason there's a separate allocate function and an initialize function? not just vibes, bestie — it's because initialization may need to be performed from under a lock where allocation is not allowed. so like, you literally can't allocate at that moment. no cap 🔒
