amdgpu_ring_..._wait_helper(9)

✨ amdgpu_ring_emit_reg_write_reg_wait_helper ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel docs, we're in the big leagues now 💅 — and it's about a little ring helper that has your back. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_ring_emit_reg_write_reg_wait_helper — the ring helper, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_ring_emit_reg_write_reg_wait_helper (struct amdgpu_ring
*ring , uint32_t reg0 , uint32_t reg1 , uint32_t ref , uint32_t mask );

like literally that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't @ me ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ring — the ring you're writing to, bestie 💫
• reg0 — the register you're writing
• reg1 — the register you're gonna wait on
• ref — the reference value you write/wait on
• mask — the mask you wait on

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so this is the helper for rings that don't support write and wait in a single oneshot packet 😭 like they just can't do it in one go, so this helper picks up the slack. it's giving "I'll do it in two because I have to" energy and honestly? iconic 👑
