  • adev β€” an amdgpu_device pointer, aka the main character of this whole GPU situation πŸ‘‘
  • ih β€” the IH ring buffer we're fetching the wptr from, no cap 🫢

✨ DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea πŸ“ 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. πŸ”₯ Not me handling overflow AND fetching wptr in the same function, main character energy fr fr.

Returns the value of the wptr. periodt. πŸ’…
