fimc_active_queue_add(9)
π fimc_active_queue_add(9) β like, the whole entire manual page, bestie
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual for fimc_active_queue_add(9) and it's honestly so straightforward, which is a vibe. It's a kernel function β no return value, no drama β that just... puts a buffer in a queue. That's it. That's the girl. Let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
fimc_active_queue_add β the function that adds a buffer to the capture active buffers queue. yes that's literally the whole job and she does it slayfully π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void fimc_active_queue_add (struct fimc_vid_cap *vid_cap , struct
fimc_vid_buffer *buf );
so it returns void, meaning she gives you nothing back β no return code, no error, no little note saying "hey bestie it worked." she just does the thing and dips. iconic behavior honestly π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
vid_capβ the camera capture device information. like, the whole situation of the capture device, all wrapped up in one struct. this is the context she needs to know which queue we're even talking about π₯bufβ the buffer to add to the active buffers list. this is the actual thing you're yeeting into the queue, no cap π₯
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
first up, the kernel file herself:
./drivers/media/platform/samsung/exynos4-is/fimc-core.h
and then, bestie, the whole friend group β every single one of these, in this exact order, nothing skipped, periodt:
struct fimc_dma_offset(9)struct fimc_effect(9)struct fimc_scaler(9)struct fimc_addr(9)struct fimc_vid_buffer(9)struct fimc_frame(9)struct fimc_m2m_device(9)struct fimc_vid_cap(9)struct fimc_pix_limit(9)struct fimc_variant(9)struct fimc_drvdata(9)struct fimc_dev(9)struct fimc_ctrls(9)struct fimc_ctx(9)fimc_active_queue_pop(9)fimc_pending_queue_add(9)fimc_pending_queue_pop(9)
lowkey the funniest thing is that fimc_active_queue_pop(9) is right there in the list, like the sibling who does the opposite thing. add and pop. balance. π§ the way the pending queue has its own add AND pop but our girl only gets the add here... anyway, iykyk π«Ά
πΈ okay that's the whole page!! no bugs section, no warnings, no environment variables, nothing scary. just vibes and a buffer going into a queue. and one last cute sign-off for you: this page lives in ./drivers/media/platform/samsu... (yeah, it got cut off in the footer, that's just how it is bestie π) and it's dated October 2026 from the Kernel API Manual. mwah. go add some buffers. πβ
