πŸ’… radeon_gem_va_update_vm(9) πŸ’…

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 ✨ 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 πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

radeon_gem_va_update_vm β€” update the bo_va in its VM, that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • rdev β€” a radeon_device pointer. that's your whole GPU device situation right there πŸ‘‘
  • bo_va β€” the bo_va to update. this is the main character of this function, fr fr πŸ’–

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

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 🫢

And the errors? Not vital here. So they don't get reported back to userspace at all. Not a single one. They're just… vibing in the void πŸ’€ The kernel said "we don't need to tell anyone about that" and honestly? Lowkey respect the confidence ngl 😭

⚠️ 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 πŸ™ˆ
