STRUCT DRM_ASAHI_GEM_CREATE(9)

💖 struct drm_asahi_gem_create(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the struct drm_asahi_gem_create(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes we're in the kernel docs, yes it's giving group chat, no I will not be normal about it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_asahi_gem_create — literally the arguments you pass to DRM_IOCTL_ASAHI_GEM_CREATE, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct drm_asahi_gem_create {
    __u64 size;
    __u32 flags;
    __u32 vm_id;
    __u32 handle;
    __u32 pad;
};

🦋 Members 🦋

• size — the size of the BO, like how big your buffer object is gonna be 💅
• flags — a lil combination of drm_asahi_gem_flags flags, mix and match, iykyk
• vm_id — the VM ID to assign to the BO, but only if DRM_ASAHI_GEM_VM_PRIVATE is set 👑
• handle — the GEM handle that gets returned for the BO, so this is the output field, not you typing it in bestie 🙈
• pad — MBZ (must be zero, so like… zero it. fr fr. zero. it.) 💀

bestie reminder: handle comes back to you, and pad must be zero. that's the whole plot 🍓

and that's the page!! mwah 💜 this one lives at ./include/uapi/drm, dated October 2026, and it's struct drm_asahi_gem_create(9) from the Kernel API Manual — slay, go create some BOs responsibly ✨🎀
