💅 xe_tlb_inval_job_create(9) 💅

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes bestie, the kernel has a manual too and it's giving very serious documentation energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xe_tlb_inval_job_create — literally just making a TLB invalidation job. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct xe_tlb_inval_job * xe_tlb_inval_job_create (struct xe_exec_queue
*q , struct xe_tlb_inval *tlb_inval , struct xe_dep_scheduler
*dep_scheduler , struct xe_vm *vm , u64 start , u64 end , int type );

like… seven arguments, no cap. she's high-maintenance but she delivers 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• q — the exec queue that's issuing the invalidate, aka the main character doing the actual work ✨
• tlb_inval — the TLB invalidation client, the little client that could 🧚
• dep_scheduler — the dependency scheduler for the job, keeping everything in order like the group chat admin 😌
• vm — the VM this TLB invalidation is being issued for, the whole reason we're here fr fr
• start — start address to invalidate, the beginning of the chaos 📍
• end — end address to invalidate, the finish line 🏁
• type — GT type, iykyk 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ok so what this does is create a TLB invalidation job and initialize all the internal fields for you. super helpful, honestly iconic of it 💖

one thing though, bestie — the caller is responsible for releasing the creation reference. not me, not the kernel, you. don't forget or it's gonna be a whole thing 😭

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

on success you get a TLB invalidation job object back — slay 🌈

on failure you get ERR_PTR. not slay. but at least it's honest 💀
