okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes we're reading kernel docs for fun now, that's just who we are β¨ This one's a little function named radeon_gem_va_update_vm, and honestly? She's short, she's sweet, she does one job and she does not stress about the consequences. Iconic behavior tbh π
β¨ NAME β¨
radeon_gem_va_update_vm β update the bo_va in its VM, that's it, that's the whole vibe π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void radeon_gem_va_update_vm (struct radeon_device *rdev , struct
radeon_bo_va *bo_va );
look at her. no return value. she gives nothing back because she has nothing to prove π
π ARGUMENTS π
rdevβ aradeon_devicepointer. that's your whole GPU device situation right there πbo_vaβ thebo_vato update. this is the main character of this function, fr fr π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
So here's the tea β: this function updates the bo_va directly after setting its address. Like, immediately after. Right away. No waiting around, no "let me think about it" β address gets set, bo_va gets updated, done π«Ά
And the errors? Not vital here. So they don't get reported back to userspace at all. Not a single one. They're justβ¦ vibing in the void π The kernel said "we don't need to tell anyone about that" and honestly? Lowkey respect the confidence ngl π
β οΈ heads up bestie: errors are not reported back to userspace β that's not a bug, that's just how this one rolls. Don't go looking for error codes that were never invited to the party π
