💖 amdgpu_vce_validate_handle(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for amdgpu_vce_validate_handle(9) — yes the title and the manual name are literally the same string, that's just how kernel docs roll, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vce_validate_handle — validate stream handle 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_vce_validate_handle (struct amdgpu_cs_parser *p , uint32_t
handle , uint32_t *allocated );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • p — the parser context, aka the whole vibe of the parse session 🫶
  • handle — the handle you're validating, the main character of this function fr
  • allocated — did we allocate a new handle? asking the real questions here 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It validates the handle and returns the found session index — slay — or it hits you with -EINVAL when we don't have another free session index 😭 like, the session slots are all taken, sorry babe, nothing left to give.

literally the whole point: check the handle, hand back the session index, or -EINVAL if there's no free session index left. that's the tea ☕

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
