💫 dce_v8_0_page_flip(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

Okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel source and the page we're reading is dce_v8_0_page_flip(9) — it's like straight outta the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "small file, big responsibility" energy. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dce_v8_0_page_flip — the pageflip callback. That's it, that's the whole name, and it's lowkey iconic for how much it hides behind four little words 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dce_v8_0_page_flip (struct amdgpu_device *adev , int crtc_id , u64
crtc_base , bool async );

Yes bestie, it returns void — it does the thing, it doesn't report back, it's not gonna text you after 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. The main character struct fr fr 👑
  • crtc_id — the crtc to cleanup pageflip on. Gotta know which one we're tidying up 🌈
  • crtc_base — the new address of the crtc, and that's a GPU MC address, not your cute little CPU one 🧚
  • async — asynchronous flip. A bool. Is it async? Is it not? That's the whole question 💀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does it actually do? It triggers the actual pageflip by updating the primary surface base address. That's the entire plot: new base address goes in, flip happens, screen goes brrr ✨ Not me being obsessed with how simple that is. Periodt.

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

The kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/dce_v8_0.c — go say hi to the source, it's the real one 🥰

That's a lot of bandwidth functions, and honestly? Slay, DRM, we love a thorough watermark pipeline 💖

✨ cute little sign-off ✨

This page lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and it's dated October 2026 — so mark your calendar bestie, the kernel was thinking about the future when it printed this 🎀 Bye diva, go flip some pages 🦋💜
