cik_srbm_select(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 cik_srbm_select — like, the kernel API manual page for it, bestie

Ok so this is cik_srbm_select(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's a glow-up for your registers. Let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

cik_srbm_select — pick which register instances are, like, the instances 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void cik_srbm_select (struct radeon_device *rdev , u32 me , u32 pipe ,
u32 queue , u32 vmid );

No return value, no drama. It just does the thing 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rdev — the radeon_device pointer, aka your main character 🫶
  • me — the selected ME (micro engine), not "me" as in you, as in the micro engine 😭
  • pipe — pipe. That's it. That's the whole description. iconic honestly
  • queue — queue 🌸
  • vmid — VMID 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what it actually does: it switches the currently active register instances. That's the whole vibe check.

Here's the tea though — some registers are instanced per VMID, and others are instanced per me/pipe/queue combination. So like, not every register is playing the same game, iykyk 🧚
