dce_v8_0_bandwidth_update</p>(9) ๐ โจ
okay so bestie, you've stumbled into the Kernel API Manual and honestly? slay. this one's a section 9 page for dce_v8_0_bandwidth_update, and it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy. let's get into it ๐ซถ
โจ NAME โจ
dce_v8_0_bandwidth_update โ program display watermarks ๐๐
๐ฆ SYNOPSIS ๐ฆ
void dce_v8_0_bandwidth_update (struct amdgpu_device *adev );
no cap, that's the whole signature. void return, one argument, in and out. iconic minimalism.
๐ ARGUMENTS ๐
adevโ anamdgpu_devicepointer ๐ซ (yes queen, that's the whole description, she's lowkey mysterious like that)
๐ฅ DESCRIPTION ๐ฅ
so what does she actually do? she calculates and programs the display watermarks and the line buffer allocation (CIK). that's it, that's the vibe. math girlies rise ๐งฎ๐
ngl, watermarks are one of those "you don't notice them until they're wrong" situations. this is the function that handles them for this hardware family.

like, that's a whole friend group of bandwidth functions and she's the one who shows up and actually programs the watermarks. main character energy fr fr ๐๐
