sdma_v6_0_vm_set_pte_pde(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for sdma_v6_0_vm_set_pte_pde(9) — and what does it do? update the page tables using sDMA. That's the whole vibe, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the signature, copy it exactly or the compiler will absolutely side-eye you:

void sdma_v6_0_vm_set_pte_pde (struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint64_t pe ,
       uint64_t addr , unsigned count , uint32_t incr , uint64_t flags );

It's a void function, so there's no return value to obsess over. Slay.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ib — indirect buffer to fill with commands. this is the buffer you're loading up, bestie.
  • pe — addr of the page entry. literally the address of the page entry.
  • addr — dst addr to write into pe. the destination address going into that page entry.
  • count — number of page entries to update. how many we're touching.
  • incr — increase next addr by incr bytes. the step size between addresses.
  • flags — access flags. the permission vibe check.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Update the page tables using sDMA. It's giving "do exactly what it says on the tin" energy. No extra steps, no secret sauce — just page-table updating via sDMA. 💅
