💖 radeon_vm_num_pdes 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is radeon_vm_num_pdes(9) — like, the whole vibe of this function is counting. It literally returns the number of page directory entries. That's the main character energy right there. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned radeon_vm_num_pdes (struct radeon_device *rdev );

That's it. One argument, returns an unsigned. Clean, simple, slay. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer. Yep, that's the whole argument list, queen. She takes the device, that's it. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she do? She calculates the number of page directory entries (cayman+). That's the whole bit — she does the math and hands you the count. Lowkey iconic that a function can be this focused. ✨

ngl the (cayman+) is doing a lot of work there — that's your cue that this is the cayman-and-newer side of things. Don't lose it, it's important! 🔥
