✨ psb_gem_dumb_create(9) ✨

okay so bestie, grab a snack 🍓 — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about making a "dumb buffer" (yes that's the real technical term, iykyk, don't come for me 💅).

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

psb_gem_dumb_create — create a dumb buffer

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int psb_gem_dumb_create (struct drm_file *file , struct drm_device *dev
, struct drm_mode_create_dumb *args );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• file — our client file 👑 like, this is the client file that's ours, bestie
• dev — our device 💖 again: ours, no sharing
• args — the requested arguments copied from userspace 🫶 so these have been copied over from userspace to hang out with us here

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the vibe check: this function allocates a buffer that's suitable for use as a frame buffer of the form described by user space. That's the whole assignment. ✨

Then it gives userspace a handle, so userspace can reference it later. That's it. That's the tea. 🎀

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/gem.c 📁
• psb_gem_fault(9) 🔥

ngl bestie, no bugs or warnings listed here — just pure buffer-allocating main character energy. slay. 💅

and that's a wrap!! 🦋 this came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/gma500, dated October 2026 — periodt, go forth and allocate 🌈💖
