dce_v8_0_latency_watermark(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 dce_v8_0_latency_watermark — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, the vibe is immaculate, and the function is called dce_v8_0_latency_watermark. yes that's a whole mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic and it knows it. this is the section 9 page for it, and honestly? she ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dce_v8_0_latency_watermark — get the latency watermark, literally that's the whole job 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 dce_v8_0_latency_watermark (struct dce8_wm_params *wm );

like, she takes one pointer and hands you back a u32. clean. minimal. main character energy. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wm — the watermark calculation data 💖 this is your whole little info bundle that the math gets done on top of. no wm, no watermark, that's just how it is.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she do? she calculates the latency watermark (CIK). that's it, that's the function. 🔥

this is the one used for display watermark bandwidth calculations — so it's part of the whole bandwidth math pipeline for the display side of things. very much a team player. very much a supportive bestie to the other bandwidth functions (see below, there are... a lot of them, and we love them all 👑).

and the return value? she returns the latency watermark in ns. nanoseconds, bestie. tiny tiny units. ngl that's kind of the flex. ⭐

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the kernel file herself lives in:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/dce_v8_0.c

and now, the friend group 💅 (all of these are section 9, iykyk):

like yes that's nineteen of them. bandwidth girlies stay winning. 💀🌈

ok real talk for a sec: everything above is the whole page, nothing skipped, nothing invented. if a function is listed, it's listed, periodt. 🍓

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this little love letter comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and the page itself is dce_v8_0_latency_watermark(9) — go forth and calculate those watermarks, you've got this 💖✨🌸
