jpeg_v1_0_de...ing_get_rptr(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 jpeg_v1_0_de...ing_get_rptr(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, the big-kid kernel section, we're literally in the driver guts rn and it's giving main character energy 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

jpeg_v1_0_decode_ring_get_rptr — get read pointer 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint64_t jpeg_v1_0_decode_ring_get_rptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

no cap, that's the whole signature — she takes one arg and hands you back a uint64_t 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. yep, that's it, that's the entire vibe check 💅

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Returns the current hardware read pointer. that's the whole thing, bestie — she reads the rptr straight off the hardware and gives it to you. iconic, lowkey, no notes 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/jpeg_v1_0.c — go say hi to her, she's the source of truth fr fr 📁

and here's the whole squad, all in the same (9) section because they're all family:

like, get rptr, get wptr, set wptr, insert start, insert end, emit a fence, emit an ib, early init, sw init, sw fini, start, parse cs — the full ring lifecycle ate and left zero crumbs 🍓

ngl the page title up top is doing that truncated jpeg_v1_0_de...ing_get_rptr thing (the terminal had to cut her off, so rude 😭) — the real full name is jpeg_v1_0_decode_ring_get_rptr, don't let the ellipsis gaslight you 💀

that's the tea! ☕ this lil beauty comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and she's slaying in the Kernel API Manual section 9 💖✨🎀🦋 bye bestie, go read some pointers 🫶
