radeon_vm_bo_add(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 radeon_vm_bo_add(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie so this one is radeon_vm_bo_add, and yes it's a section 9 kernel API page, we love a driver-internals moment 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

radeon_vm_bo_add — add a bo to a specific vm 💫

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct radeon_bo_va * radeon_vm_bo_add (struct radeon_device *rdev ,
struct radeon_vm *vm , struct radeon_bo *bo );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer 🫶
  • vm — the vm you're asking for
  • bo — a radeon buffer object 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does: it adds the bo into the requested vm (cayman+ 💀 yes, cayman and up, that's the vibe). It literally adds the bo to the list of bos associated with the vm, and hands you back the newly added bo_va, or NULL if it failed 😭.

⚠️ okay this is the important part bestie — the object has to be reserved! like, reserved-reserved. don't come at this function with an unreserved object, i'm begging 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
