💅 sdma_v5_2_vm_set_pte_pde — a little Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is literally called sdma_v5_2_vm_set_pte_pde(9). yes that's a mouthful. no we're not shortening it. iykyk 💖

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v5_2_vm_set_pte_pde — update the page tables using sDMA

like... that's the whole vibe. page tables. sDMA. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sdma_v5_2_vm_set_pte_pde (struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint64_t pe ,
uint64_t addr , unsigned count , uint32_t incr , uint64_t flags );

she takes six args, returns nothing (void — no cap, she gives nothing back and honestly? iconic 👑). copy it exactly, don't be cute with the types.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ib — indirect buffer to fill with commands. this is the lil container she's gonna stuff full of stuff, mwah 🫶
  • pe — addr of the page entry
  • addr — dst addr to write into pe
  • count — number of page entries to update
  • incr — increase next addr by incr bytes
  • flags — access flags

that's it, that's the whole roster. six little besties. 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Update the page tables using sDMA.

short. sweet. to the point. she said what she said and honestly the confidence?? main character energy fr fr 💀✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the source file she lives in (go say hi):

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/sdma_v5_2.c

and now the whole extended friend group 💖 — every single one, no skipping:

look at that list. that's a whole group chat. 🧚

💀 tiny reminder bestie: this is kernel API, so keep the signatures exactly as written — no renaming, no "fixing", no merging. the compiler does not care about your vibes (rude, i know).

and that's a wrap on this lil manpage date 💅✨ the source/version line lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and the date stamp is October 2026 — ok bye, go update those page tables, ily 🫶🍓💜
