STRUCT DRM_ETHOSU_BO_CREATE(9)

✨ struct drm_ethosu_bo_create(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the struct drm_ethosu_bo_create page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is literally the struct that describes the arguments passed to DRM_IOCTL_ETHOSU_BO_CREATE — like, the little envelope of info you hand over when you want a buffer object created. no cap 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct drm_ethosu_bo_create — Arguments passed to DRM_IOCTL_ETHOSU_BO_CREATE. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct drm_ethosu_bo_create {
    __u64 size;
    __u32 flags;
    __u32 handle;
 };

look at her. three little fields, main character energy 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

so here's the cast of characters, bestie, one by one 💖

• size — the size you're requesting for the object 🍓 and heads up, the actual (page-aligned) allocated size for the object will be returned back to you — so what you ask for and what you get are lowkey not the same thing, iykyk.
• flags — the flags, obviously 💅 must be a combination of drm_ethosu_bo_flags flags. combination, bestie — mix and match from that enum, don't invent your own 🧚
• handle — the returned handle for the object 🎀 and the key detail: object handles are nonzero. like, zero is not a handle, periodt. don't be out here checking if (handle == 0) and getting confused 🙈
