xe_lmtt_invalidate_hw(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this page is xe_lmtt_invalidate_hw(9), and it’s living in the Kernel API Manual β€” very demure, very kernel-core πŸ’…. The whole vibe is: invalidate LMTT hardware. That’s the function, bestie, and it’s giving β€œclean up your translation tables” energy ✨.


πŸ› οΈ SYNOPSIS πŸ› οΈ

void xe_lmtt_invalidate_hw (struct xe_lmtt *lmtt );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • lmtt β€” the xe_lmtt to invalidate. That’s the one getting the invalidation treatment, no cap πŸ’–.

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

So basically, this function sends requests to all GuCs on this tile to invalidate all TLBs. Very β€œtell everyone in the group chat” behavior, honestly πŸ“£.

If the platform has a standalone MERT, it also invalidates MERT’s TLB too. Not me being thorough β€” the function is being thorough πŸ¦‹.

⚠️ Important caveat, bestie: this function should be called only when running as a PF driver. That’s not a suggestion, that’s the rule 😭. Don’t be out here calling it in the wrong mode, fr fr.
