okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel API manual today β this one lives in section 9, the driver/kernel-API zone π and it's all about clearing out page fault drama on a GT. no cap, it's a tiny function but it does exactly one job and it does it slay.

π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the vibe: you call this and it resets the Xe page fault state for a GT. literally what that means is β it squashes any pending faults on that GT. gone. deleted. not me clearing the queue bestie ππ₯
think of it as the lil cleanup crew for a GT that's being reset, so no stale fault nonsense lingers around afterwards. iconic behavior, honestly π
