🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_gvt_create_idle_vgpu — literally just: create an idle virtual GPU. That's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct intel_vgpu * intel_gvt_create_idle_vgpu (struct intel_gvt *gvt );

Like, that's the whole signature. Short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gvt — the GVT device. That's it, that's the only thing you're handing over. Main character argument energy fr fr.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕ — this function gets called when a user wants to create an idle virtual GPU. The way it just... does what it says on the tin? We love a lowkey honest function. ✨

🌈 RETURN 🌈

It hands you back a pointer to intel_vgpu. 🫶 But heads up: if it fails, you get an error pointer instead — so check that thing, bestie, don't just vibe-check it and assume it's fine. 😭
