πŸ’… xe_map_resource_to_region(9) πŸ’…

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 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

xe_map_resource_to_region β€” maps a ttm resource to a vram memory region. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • res β€” the ttm resource. that's the one and only thing you hand it, and honestly? she's enough πŸ’…

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

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 πŸ’₯ that's what you get back. it's giving "asking your friend who knows a guy" energy, iykyk 🧚


πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

a pointer to xe_vram_region. that's the whole return value, periodt πŸ’–

ngl that's a whole friend group and every single one of them is serving 🌸
