💅 radeon_vm_map_gart(9) — a lil' page from the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to radeon_vm_map_gart ✨ this is the little kernel API function that goes and gets you the physical address of a gart page, and honestly? she's short but she delivers. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

radeon_vm_map_gart — get the physical address of a gart page 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t radeon_vm_map_gart (struct radeon_device *rdev , uint64_t addr
);

like, she takes two things and hands you back a uint64_t. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer, aka your main character. she's the device you're working with, no cap. 👑
  • addr — the unmapped addr. literally the address that hasn't been mapped yet, and you're like "hey bestie what's the physical page behind this?" 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea: this function looks up the physical address of the page that the pte resolves to — and heads up, this is for cayman+, so if you're on older hardware this isn't your era, iykyk. 💀

Then it returns the physical address of the page. that's it. she looks it up, she gives it to you. iconic behavior, honestly. 🌟

ngl, the whole function is basically "find the page, return the page" and I respect the commitment to not overcomplicating things. slay. 💅
