sdma_v5_0_ri...mit_vm_flush(9) 💅✨

okay so bestie, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes that's the manual name, we're fancy) and the header got cut off mid-word like it was too excited to finish — sdma_v5_0_ri...mit_vm_flush(9), iconic honestly. Anyway. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v5_0_ring_emit_vm_flush — vm flush using sDMA

like, it emits a VM flush through sDMA. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v5_0_ring_emit_vm_flush (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , unsigned
vmid , uint64_t pd_addr );

no cap, that's the signature, copy it exactly, don't be weird about it 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. it's the ring, bestie. the ring!! 🌀
  • vmid — the vmid number to use. yes, to use. that's the assignment. 👑
  • pd_addr — an address. that's it. that's the whole description. giving minimal main character energy 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it updates the page table base and then flushes the VM TLB using sDMA, specifically on NAVI10. that's the tea, and honestly? slay. two jobs, one function, no notes 💅
