xe_bo_restore_early(9)

💖 xe_bo_restore_early 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for xe_bo_restore_early(9), bestie — this page is lowkey a resume-time baddie. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• xe_bo_restore_early — restore early phase kernel BOs to VRAM. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int xe_bo_restore_early (struct xe_device *xe );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• xe — xe device. that's the whole argument, no extra lore. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: xe_bo_restore_early moves kernel BOs from temporary memory — typically system memory — over to VRAM, and it does that via CPU. every single one of those moves is done via TTM calls. no cap, that's the assignment. 🔥

early bird energy: this function should be called early, before trying to init the GT, on device resume. like, that's the timeline, bestie — early. ⏰
