jpeg_v2_0_early_init(9)
π jpeg_v2_0_early_init β like, the kernel API manual, bestie π
Okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, for the uninitiated β that's the kernel-functions section, iykyk β¨), and it's about one very specific little function. Let's get into it π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
jpeg_v2_0_early_init β no cap, all this bad boy does is set function pointers. That's the whole vibe. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int jpeg_v2_0_early_init (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );
Yep, that's it. One argument, returns an int. Simple. Elegant. Iconic. π
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
ip_blockβ a pointer to thestruct amdgpu_ip_blockfor this hw instance, fr fr. Like, the specific hardware instance we're talking about here, not some random one. π
π DESCRIPTION π
So what does it actually do? It sets the ring and irq function pointers. That's it. That's the function. Lowkey minimal, highkey essential, honestly. β¨
Not me just wiring up pointers so the rest of the JPEG v2.0 machinery knows who to call later π it's giving main character energy for the whole init sequence.
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
The kernel file where all this lives:
./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/jpeg_v2_0.c
