gfx_v7_0_rin...ence_compute(9)
β¨ gfx_v7_0_ring_emit_fence_compute π β from the Kernel API Manual π
okay so bestie, sit down, because we're about to talk about the single most "one job, does it well" function in the whole gfx_v7_0 family, and honestly? she ate. π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
gfx_v7_0_ring_emit_fence_compute β literally just: emit a fence on the compute ring. that's it. that's the whole vibe. β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void gfx_v7_0_ring_emit_fence_compute (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , u64
addr , u64 seq , unsigned flags );
no cap, that's the entire signature β returns nothing, because she's a void icon and she's not here to give you a report back. π
π ARGUMENTS π
here's the group chat roster of everything she takes, one by one, no skips:
ringβ theamdgpu_ringstructure that's holding all the ring info. like, she needs to know which ring she's talking to, obviously. πaddrβ an address. just. the address. πseqβ the sequence number. π’flagsβ fence related flags. that's the whole description. fence-adjacent. flags. π©
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
so what does she actually do? she emits a fence sequence number on the compute ring, and then she flushes GPU caches. that's the entire assignment and she completes it. periodt. π
π SEE ALSO π
the full squad, all linked, none left behind β and fr fr the kernel file itself is right here:
