✨ amdgpu_vce_ring_parse_cs_vm(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little function that lives over in the AMDGPU VCE corner of the kernel tree, and no, you don't need to know what a VCE is to follow along, but it is giving "video encode engine" main character energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_vce_ring_parse_cs_vm — it parses the command stream, but specifically in VM mode. that's the whole vibe. parse the CS, VM edition 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int amdgpu_vce_ring_parse_cs_vm (struct amdgpu_cs_parser *p , struct
amdgpu_job *job , struct amdgpu_ib *ib );

that's a struct amdgpu_cs_parser *, a struct amdgpu_job *, and a struct amdgpu_ib * walking into a function that returns an int. iconic trio tbh 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • p — ok so this is your parser context. the whole parsing situation lives in here. she's the main character of the argument list 💜
  • job — the job to parse. yes, the job. it's right there in the name, no notes 🙈
  • ib — the IB to patch. that's the one getting the patch treatment, and she knows it ✨

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

bestie there is a whole friend group here. the kernel file lives at:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vce.c

and then, in no particular order (okay it's alphabetical-ish, it's the original order, don't come for me) 🫶

like, that's the entire group chat. read them all, slay 💀🔥

okay and finally, the sign-off 🧚 — this manual page came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and it's dated October 2026, so slide into that source tree if you want the full context. periodt 💖🌸
