🌸 dce8_dram_b..._for_display(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes we're in the deep kernel-lore part of the group chat now, the truncated-title era, dce8_dram_b..._for_display(9) and all πŸ’… don't worry, the vibes are immaculate and the facts are all here.


✨ NAME ✨

dce8_dram_bandwidth_for_display β€” get the dram bandwidth for display πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 dce8_dram_bandwidth_for_display (struct dce8_wm_params *wm );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • wm β€” the watermark calculation data. that's it, that's the whole input. she's a struct dce8_wm_params * and she's carrying all the numbers the math needs 🫢

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she do? she calculates the dram bandwidth used for display (CIK). that's the whole assignment. πŸ”₯

this is what feeds into the display watermark bandwidth calculations, and then β€” the moment we've all been waiting for β€” she returns the dram bandwidth for display in MBytes/s. iconic. no cap, that's genuinely the entire function. sometimes main character energy is just doing one thing and doing it correctly ✨

ngl, don't sleep on the units. it's MBytes/s, not bits, not bytes β€” megabytes per second, periodt. πŸ’€

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

and now the part where we tag literally everyone in the group chat 😭 β€” the kernel file:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.c

and the whole CIK + dce8 friend group, every single one of them:

like I said. the whole friend group. iykyk πŸ¦‹


that's the page, bestie β€” mwah πŸ’‹
