💅 dce_v6_0_available_bandwidth — a Kernel API Manual moment (yes it's a (9) section page, we're in the kernel docs bestie)

okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel API manual, section 9, and the star of the show is dce_v6_0_available_bandwidth. it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dce_v6_0_available_bandwidth — get the min available bandwidth 💖

like, it literally just goes and fetches the minimum available bandwidth for you. that's the whole vibe.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 dce_v6_0_available_bandwidth (struct dce6_wm_params *wm );

that's it. that's the call. she takes one pointer and hands you back a u32, no cap. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • wm — the watermark calculation data 💅 like, this is the whole little bundle of numbers she needs to do her math. hand it over and she's off.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie: this function calculates the min available bandwidth used for display (CIK). that's the CIK part, keep it in your notes 📝.

it's used for display watermark bandwidth calculations — so think of it as the supporting-character-turned-main-character that feeds the watermark math. and after all that work, it returns the min available bandwidth in MBytes/s ⭐ (megabytes per second, say it with your chest).

🫶 friendly reminder that the unit is MBytes/s and not just "MB" — units matter, they're the moment.
