💅 radeon_vm_manager_init 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's radeon_vm_manager_init(9) and it's literally the moment the VM manager gets its life together. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

radeon_vm_manager_init — init the vm manager. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it sets the thing up. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int radeon_vm_manager_init (struct radeon_device *rdev );

one function, one argument, one return value — clean, iconic, no drama. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer, aka your ticket to the whole radeon device struct. hand it over, that's who we're initializing for. 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it actually do? it inits the vm manager (cayman+). that's the whole lore. 🧚

returns 0 for success — slay, we love a zero 💀 — and an error for failure. no cap, that's the entire contract.

ngl, "cayman+" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, so don't forget it — this is the cayman-and-later situation, not an all-generations-everything situation. 🙈
