💅 i915_vma_unpin_iomap — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you're in the i915_vma_unpin_iomap(9) page of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a short one but it's important, so bestie please pay attention for like two seconds 💖

✨ NAME ✨

i915_vma_unpin_iomap — literally just unpins the mapping you got back from i915_vma_iomap. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i915_vma_unpin_iomap (struct i915_vma *vma );

like, one function, one argument, zero drama 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vma — the VMA you want to unpin. yes, that VMA. the one you pinned earlier, bestie 😭

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕ — this function unpins the VMA that was previously iomapped, the one you got from i915_vma_pin_iomap. it's the undoing of the doing. the closing of the loop. the "okay i'm done with this now" of it all 💅

⚠️ read this part twice, fr fr: this function is only valid to call on a VMA that was previously iomapped by the caller with i915_vma_pin_iomap. like, you have to be the one who pinned it. don't be out here unpinning other people's iomaps, that's not the move 🙈
