💖 panfrost_gem_create_object(9) 💖

okay so real talk, bestie — welcome to the panfrost_gem_create_object(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. it's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey doing heavy lifting behind the scenes. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

panfrost_gem_create_object — the implementation of driver->gem_create_object. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's the callback, she's the moment, she's the plug 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct drm_gem_object * panfrost_gem_create_object (struct drm_device
*dev , size_t size );

yes the signature wraps like that in the original and we're keeping it exactly as-is, no cap. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device, aka the whole reason we're here. the main character, if you will 👑
• size — size in bytes of the memory the object is gonna reference. get those numbers right, fr fr 📏

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function lets the GEM helpers allocate object structs for us, and it keeps our BO stats correct. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour, honestly. it's giving "quietly competent support character who actually runs the entire friend group" energy 🌈

no drama, no extra steps — the GEM helpers do the struct allocating, and this bad boy makes sure the BO stats stay accurate. ate and left no crumbs 💀✨

ngl there are no flags, no return values, no env vars, no exit statuses here — this page is criminally short and we are NOT inventing lore. what you see is what you get 🍓
