STRUCT DRM_PVR_IOCTL_CREATE_CONTEXT_ARGS(9)

💜 struct drm_pvr_ioctl_create_context_args(9) 💜

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie it's giving "one struct, eight fields, zero chill." it's the argument struct you hand over to %DRM_IOCTL_PVR_CREATE_CONTEXT so the driver knows what kind of context you're trying to spin up. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct drm_pvr_ioctl_create_context_args — literally just the arguments for %DRM_IOCTL_PVR_CREATE_CONTEXT. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_pvr_ioctl_create_context_args {
    __u32 type;
    __u32 flags;
    __s32 priority;
    __u32 handle;
    __u64 static_context_state;
    __u32 static_context_state_len;
    __u32 vm_context_handle;
    __u64 callstack_addr;
 };

look at her. eight fields. flawless. no notes 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

each field is tagged [IN] (you fill it in) or [OUT] (the driver fills it in for you), so keep an eye on which way the info is flowing, iykyk:

• type — [IN] the type of context you wanna create. this must be one of the values defined by enum drm_pvr_ctx_type — no making stuff up, bestie 😭
• flags — [IN] flags for the context. just flags. flags go here ✨
• priority — [IN] how important your new context thinks it is (main character energy, honestly). this must be one of the values defined by enum drm_pvr_ctx_priority
• handle — [OUT] the handle you get back for your brand new context 👑
• static_context_state — [IN] pointer to the static context state stream
• static_context_state_len — [IN] length of that static context state, measured in bytes, because units matter 💖
• vm_context_handle — [IN] the handle for the VM context that this context is associated with
• callstack_addr — [IN] the address for the initial call stack pointer 🧚

⚠️ heads up on callstack_addr: it's only valid if type is DRM_PVR_CTX_TYPE_RENDER. any other type and it must be 0. no cap, the driver will not be amused otherwise 💀
