gfx_v7_0_ti...e_table_init(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for gfx_v7_0_tiling_mode_table_init(9) β€” yes the header is a little truncated with the ..., but we move. It's giving kernel graphics fairy godmother energy and we're gonna read it together, fr fr. 🧚✨


✨ NAME ✨

gfx_v7_0_tiling_mode_table_init β€” init the hw tiling table. That's the whole name section, no cap. πŸŽ€

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void gfx_v7_0_tiling_mode_table_init (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • adev β€” the amdgpu_device pointer, aka the one struct we're handing over. That's the arg, periodt. πŸ’–

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

Starting with SI, the tiling setup is done globally in a set of 32 tiling modes. Instead of selecting each set of parameters per surface like older asics did, we just select which index in the tiling table we want to use, and the surface uses those parameters (CIK). It's giving "global table, pick your index" energy, and honestly? Obsessed. ✨
