π ih_v7_0_get_wptr(9) β like, the Kernel API Manual page you've been waiting for β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ih_v7_0_get_wptr(9) β it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" and honestly? we're obsessed. π
πΈ NAME
ih_v7_0_get_wptr β get the IH ring buffer wptr π¦
β SYNOPSIS
u32 ih_v7_0_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct amdgpu_ih_ring
*ih );
π ARGUMENTS
adevβ anamdgpu_devicepointer, aka the main character of this whole GPU situation πihβ the IH ring buffer we're fetching the wptr from, no cap π«Ά
β¨ DESCRIPTION
okay so here's the tea π β this function gets the IH ring buffer wptr from either the register or the writeback memory buffer. Either one. It's flexible like that, we love a versatile icon.
It also does a vibe check on the ring buffer for overflow, and like, deals with it. π₯ Not me handling overflow AND fetching wptr in the same function, main character energy fr fr.
Returns the value of the wptr. periodt. π

ngl bestie, if you're deep in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu at 3am, drink some water and remember: the wptr is coming from the register or the writeback memory buffer. that's it. that's the whole thing. slay. π
