πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ msm_gem_shrinker_init ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual β€” like, the kernel's own little encyclopedia β€” for a function called msm_gem_shrinker_init. it's giving "niche but important," and honestly? we love her for it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

msm_gem_shrinker_init β€” literally just: initialize the msm shrinker πŸŽ€

that's it. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, to the point.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int msm_gem_shrinker_init (struct drm_device *dev );

so she takes one (1) argument, and she hands you back an int. classic. no cap. πŸ”₯


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • dev β€” the drm device πŸ–₯️ β€” yes, that's the entire description. she's a simple girl. the parameter is the drm device, full stop, periodt.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? okay so: this function registers and sets up the msm shrinker. that's the whole assignment and she ate it. πŸ“

like, that's the official description, bestie β€” registering + setting up, that's the job. no extra lore, no secret side quests, no hidden plot twists. iykyk. ✨


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

  • the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_shrinker.c β€” that's where she lives, go say hi 🌈
  • msm_gem_shrinker_cleanup(9) β€” her counterpart, the one who cleans up after the party πŸ§ΉπŸ’œ

lowkey a note from me to you: this page is exactly as long as it needs to be and not one crumb more. don't go reading extra behaviour into it β€” the manpage doesn't say it, so we don't either. 🫢

and that's a wrap, bestie!! πŸŽ€ this little icon comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm, dated October 2026, and the manual it's chilling in is the Kernel API Manual β€” mwah, stan her, bye πŸ’–πŸ¦‹βœ¨
