🌸 NAME 🌸

radeon_gart_table_ram_free β€” free system ram for gart page table

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void radeon_gart_table_ram_free (struct radeon_device *rdev );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • rdev β€” radeon_device pointer. that's the whole arg, bestie 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so what's the vibe? This function frees system memory for the GART page table β€” but not for every GPU under the sun, no cap. Specifically: r1xx-r3xx, non-pcie r4xx, rs400. These asics require the gart table to be in system memory. so yeah, it's giving "free the system RAM for the GART page table on those chips" and that's literally it πŸ’–
