💅 panthor_gem_..._with_handle(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a whole function from the panthor DRM driver and it's literally about making a GEM object and handing it a handle. very main character energy, no cap. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

panthor_gem_create_with_handle — creates a GEM object and attaches it to a handle 💖

like, the object gets born and gets its little name tag in one go. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int panthor_gem_create_with_handle (struct drm_file *file , struct drm_device *ddev , struct panthor_vm *exclusive_vm , u64 *size , u32 flags , u32 *handle );

that's the whole vibe right there 🫶 returns an int, takes a bunch of stuff, you know how it is.

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• file — the DRM file. literally the file struct, that's the whole thing, she's just here being a file 💅
• ddev — the DRM device. your device bestie 🖥️
• exclusive_vm — the exclusive VM. it's not NULL if the GEM object can't be shared 🔒 so if you see a non-NULL value here, that object is NOT open to sharing, periodt.
• size — size of the GEM object to allocate. yes it's a pointer to a u64, she's fancy like that 📏
• flags — a combination of drm_panthor_bo_flags flags 🚩 mix and match as needed
• handle — pointer holding the handle pointing to the new GEM object 🎀 this is where the new baby's handle ends up living

ngl the argument list is lowkey long but every single one is doing its job, don't skip any 😭
