💅 panthor_kernel_bo_create(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for panthor_kernel_bo_create(9) 🫶 It's giving "let's create and map a GEM object to a VM" energy, and honestly the vibe is immaculate. We're keeping every flag and literal exactly as it is, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

panthor_kernel_bo_create — Create and map a GEM object to a VM 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct panthor_kernel_bo * panthor_kernel_bo_create (struct
       panthor_device *ptdev , struct panthor_vm *vm , size_t size , u32
       bo_flags , u32 vm_map_flags , u64 gpu_va , const char *name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ptdev — Device. 🖥️ the main character device, periodt.
• vm — VM to map the GEM to. 🗺️
• size — Size of the buffer object. 📏
• bo_flags — Combination of drm_panthor_bo_flags flags. 🚩
• vm_map_flags — Combination of drm_panthor_vm_bind_op_flags (only those that are related to map operations). 🧭 iykyk, map ops only.
• gpu_va — GPU address assigned when mapping to the VM. If gpu_va == PANTHOR_VM_KERNEL_AUTO_VA, the virtual address will be automatically allocated. 🪄 auto-alloc magic, no cap.
• name — Descriptive label of the BO's contents 🏷️

🔥 RETURN 🔥

A valid pointer in case of success, an ERR_PTR otherwise. ✅➡️❌ slay when it works, check that error pointer when it doesn't.
