partition_mem(9)

💖 partition_mem — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 😌✨ this page is all about partition_mem — literally the function that partitions memory and configures TP memory settings 🎀

ngl the name is doing a lot of heavy lifting here but it's iconic for it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void partition_mem (struct adapter *adap , const struct tp_params *p );

like, that's the whole signature. short, sweet, main character energy 🦋

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• adap — the adapter 🫶 that's the thing you're working on, bestie.
• p — the TP parameters ⭐ the whole settings bundle, right there.

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does it actually do? two things, and they're both lowkey important 🔥

• it partitions context and payload memory 🧚
• and it configures TP's memory registers 👑

that's it. that's the vibe. no cap 😭💜
