💖 xe_svm_bo_evict(9) — SVM evict BO to system memory 💖

okay bestie, this is the xe_svm_bo_evict(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic: we're evicting a BO to system memory. Let's get into the group chat ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_svm_bo_evict — SVM evict BO to system memory

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int xe_svm_bo_evict (struct xe_bo *bo );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bo — the BO to evict; that's the whole argument, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function evicts the BO to system memory, SVM-style. The GPU SVM layer is doing the absolute most here: it makes sure all device pages are evicted before returning. No sneaky leftovers, periodt 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success — standard error code otherwise
