xe_ggtt_remove_bo(9)

💅 xe_ggtt_remove_bo(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay so this is xe_ggtt_remove_bo, bestie, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — you know, the section where all the good kernel-internals lore hangs out. This one does exactly one thing and honestly it ate: it removes a BO from the GGTT. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_ggtt_remove_bo — Remove a BO from the GGTT</p> 💖

Like, literally the title tells you everything, no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void xe_ggtt_remove_bo (struct xe_ggtt *ggtt , struct xe_bo *bo );

notice how it returns void? it's giving "i do my job and i don't report back". main character energy fr fr 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ggtt — the xe_ggtt where the node is gonna get removed 👋 that's the address-space-bestie in question
• bo — the xe_bo that's getting removed 🎀 so long, buffer object, we hardly knew ye

ngl both of these are pointers and both of them matter. don't be out here passing the wrong one, i'm begging 🙈

lowkey important: this page only documents what's written here, so if you need the deep lore on how nodes get inserted, mapped, shifted, dumped, or turned into PTEs — that's what the SEE ALSO squad is for. go read them, bestie, they're iconic. 🍓

mwah 💜 that's the whole page — brought to you straight from the ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe directory, dated October 2026, and this little rewrite is xe_ggtt_remove_bo(9) signing off. slay, stay mapped, and remember: remove responsibly ✨🎀
