💅 intel_vgpu_create_ppgtt_mm(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a kernel API page, and the star of the show is intel_vgpu_create_ppgtt_mm — say that five times fast, i dare you 😭

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_vgpu_create_ppgtt_mm — creates a ppgtt mm object for a vGPU. that's it, that's the whole gig 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct intel_vgpu_mm * intel_vgpu_create_ppgtt_mm (struct intel_vgpu
*vgpu , enum intel_gvt_gtt_type root_entry_type , u64 pdps[] );

like, look at her. she returns a struct intel_vgpu_mm * and she takes three whole args. main character energy fr 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • vgpu — a vGPU. yes that's the entire description, she's a woman of few words 💀 it's the virtual GPU we're doing all this for.
  • root_entry_type — the ppgtt root entry type. it's an enum intel_gvt_gtt_type, so like, which flavor of root entry we're working with 🌈
  • pdps — the guest pdps. that's a u64 pdps[], an array, okay?? don't come for me 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this function is the function for creating a ppgtt mm object for a vGPU. that's the vibe. that's what she does. no cap 🎀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

zero on success 🎉 and if it fails? negative error code in pointer. yes, in the pointer — read that again bestie, that's not a typo, that's just how she rolls 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the kernel file herself: ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/gtt.c — go read her, she's iconic 📖

and then the whole friend group, all of them, no one left out:

seventeen besties. a whole group chat. slay 🫶🔥

lowkey reminder: the return value lives in the pointer when things go wrong — so check it, bestie, don't just vibe past it 🙈

and that's the page!! 🧚 this little love letter lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt, dated October 2026, and it's filed under intel_vgpu_create_ppgtt_mm(9) — mwah, go forth and create those ppgtt mm objects 💜🍓
