💅 amdgpu_vce_ring_test_ib(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're literally in kernel-land today, and no, it's not scary, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vce_ring_test_ib — the girl whose whole job is to test if VCE IBs are working 💖

like, that's it. that's her whole personality. she checks the thing. iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int amdgpu_vce_ring_test_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , long timeout );

yes the spacing is a little chaotic, no we're not fixing it, it's part of the vibe now 🌸

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — the engine to test on. like... which ring are we doing a vibe check on, bestie? this one. right here. 💅
  • timeout — timeout value in jiffies, or MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT. so either a real number of jiffies or the big "we're waiting forever, and that's fine" constant. no cap, that constant is doing the most 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the source file lives at Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vce.c — yes that's the whole path, go read it, it's giving main character energy 🔥

and now, the friend group 🫶 — every single one of these, no skips:

that's the whole squad, periodt 🌈⭐

fr fr though: timeout is in jiffies, not seconds, not millis, not vibes. and MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT is the "wait basically forever" option. don't come for me if you pass seconds bestie 💀

and that's the page!! brought to you by the lovely humans of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and we're out here repping amdgpu_vce_ring_test_ib(9) until the end of time 💜🧚‍♀️ mwah, go test those IBs 🍓
