π jpeg_v5_0_1_start β a whole vibe check
okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual π and it's all about one little function called jpeg_v5_0_1_start. Yes the name is a mouthful, no we are not changing it, it's iconic in its own way. Let's get into it β¨

Like, literally that's the whole job. It starts the JPEG block. Slay. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS
int jpeg_v5_0_1_start (struct amdgpu_device *adev );
That's the whole signature, no cap. It takes one thing, it hands you back an int. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS
adevβ anamdgpu_devicepointer. That's it, that's the argument. One pointer, main character energy, doing all the work here. π
π DESCRIPTION
Setup and start the JPEG block.
fr fr that's it. Setup β then start. The JPEG block goes from "existing" to "running" and honestly? We love a two-step glow-up. β¨π₯
lowkey the original page says exactly this much and not one word more, so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore about it, iykyk π
π SEE ALSO
The kernel file where all this magic lives:

And the whole friend group of sibling functions β every single one of them, no skipping, we don't do that here π:

Like a full squad of (9) pages. Go read them, they're the supporting cast and they ate. π
mwah π that's the whole page. shoutout to the source path ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and the October 2026 date stamp β this one's stamped and sealed, periodt. π§π
