πŸ’… jpeg_v5_0_1_dec_ring_get_wptr β€” get write pointer ✨

okay so bestie, this is a kernel API manual page (yes, the 9 means section 9, it's giving kernel-doc energy πŸŽ€). Let's get into it.


✨ NAME ✨

jpeg_v5_0_1_dec_ring_get_wptr β€” get write pointer πŸ–ŠοΈ


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint64_t jpeg_v5_0_1_dec_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. it hands you back a uint64_t and takes exactly one thing. slay.


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • ring β€” an amdgpu_ring pointer πŸŒ€ (literally just a pointer to an amdgpu_ring, that's the whole vibe)

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Returns the current hardware write pointer. that's it. that's the function. it goes and gets the wptr and gives it to you πŸ’«

lowkey iconic for how straightforward it is ngl.

the kernel file this lives in:

  • ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/jpeg_v5_0_1.c

and the whole friend group 🫢:

like look at get_rptr and set_wptr right there at the end β€” they're literally siblings of this one, iykyk πŸ”₯


and that's the page!! πŸ’œ this one came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, ty for reading bestie, go read the rptr one next πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸ’…
