✨ dce_v8_0_dram_bandwidth_for_display — a kernel manual page, but make it cute 💅

okay so real talk, this page lives in the dce_v8_0_dr..._for_display(9) section of the Kernel API Manual — yes that title is truncated, it's giving "character limit on the group chat name" 😭 — and the actual function is dce_v8_0_dram_bandwidth_for_display. she's long, she's specific, she's iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dce_v8_0_dram_bandwidth_for_display — literally just here to get the dram bandwidth for display, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 dce_v8_0_dram_bandwidth_for_display (struct dce8_wm_params *wm );

that's it. one argument. she's low maintenance like that 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • wm — the watermark calculation data. that's the whole vibe, bestie: it's the struct holding everything the watermark math needs 🧚

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she calculates the dram bandwidth used for display — specifically the CIK flavor, iykyk 🔥

she's the one called in for display watermark bandwidth calculations, and she hands back the dram bandwidth for display measured in MBytes/s ⭐

like — that's the whole job. she does the math, she returns the number, she leaves. main character energy honestly 👑

like yes that's a lot of names but every single one of them is doing her thing and we respect it 💅

ngl bestie, this one's a small page but she's important. bandwidth math = the display stays smooth. don't sleep on her 💀

and that's the whole page!! brought to you by ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 — mwah, love u, go read dce_v8_0.c 🌸💖🎀
