π xe_map_resource_to_region(9) π
ok so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie, today's main character is xe_map_resource_to_region(9) β say that five times fast, i literally cannot π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
xe_map_resource_to_region β maps a ttm resource to a vram memory region. that's it. that's the whole vibe. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct xe_vram_region * xe_map_resource_to_region (struct ttm_resource
*res );
like, one function, one pointer in, one pointer out. no cap, it's giving minimalism π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
resβ the ttm resource. that's the one and only thing you hand it, and honestly? she's enough π
β DESCRIPTION β
okay so here's the tea β β this function gets you the vram memory region by using the vram memory manager that's managing this resource. so like, you've got a res, she's got a manager, and the manager knows which vram region she belongs to, and bam π₯ that's what you get back. it's giving "asking your friend who knows a guy" energy, iykyk π§
π₯ RETURN π₯
a pointer to xe_vram_region. that's the whole return value, periodt π
π SEE ALSO π
so like, go read the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_vram.c and then these iconic siblings of hers, ok? they all ate:
xe_vram_probe(9)xe_vram_region_io_start(9)xe_vram_region_io_size(9)xe_vram_region_dpa_base(9)xe_vram_region_usable_size(9)xe_vram_region_actual_physical_size(9)
ngl that's a whole friend group and every single one of them is serving πΈ
literally just one function, but she's lowkey important, don't skip the SEE ALSO list bestie π
and that's a wrap!! this page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026, and it's the xe_map_resource_to_region(9) page from the Kernel API Manual β slay, bye, drink some water ππ¦β¨
