π jpeg_v3_0_dec_ring_get_rptr β Kernel API Manual, but make it cute β¨
okay so listen bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is jpeg_v3_0_dec_ring_get_rptr(9). yes it's a whole mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud at parties. it's giving "my function name is a paragraph" energy and honestly? iconic for that. π
πΈ NAME πΈ
jpeg_v3_0_dec_ring_get_rptr β get read pointer π«Ά
like literally just. get the read pointer. that's the whole job. main character who knows their purpose.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
uint64_t jpeg_v3_0_dec_ring_get_rptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );
look at that signature, uint64_t coming back at you, one singular argument, no drama, no cap. clean. slay. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
ringβ anamdgpu_ringpointer, bestie. that's it, that's the argument. it's the ring we're talking about, you hand it over, done. π€
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
Returns the current hardware read pointer. β¨
that's it. that's the vibe. it goes and gets the read pointer, straight from the hardware, and hands it back to you as a uint64_t. no hidden tricks, no "oh but if you call it on a tuesdayβ" nope. none of that. it just returns the current hardware read pointer fr fr. lowkey the most well-behaved function in the whole file and we respect her for it π

and that's the page!! π this one came to you straight out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and the manual name is jpeg_v3_0_dec_ring_get_rptr(9) in case it slipped your mind (it's a lot of characters, we get it). go forth, get that read pointer, and remember: you ate. πβ¨
