okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes this is a kernel manpage and yes we're gonna make it cute. this one's about pvr_job_data_init, and it's giving "let me set up your jobs for you" energy. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

pvr_job_data_init β€” Init an array of created jobs, associating them with the appropriate sync_ops args, which will be copied in.

like literally it makes the array, hooks each job up to its matching sync_ops args, and copies those args in. no cap. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pvr_job_data_init (struct pvr_device *pvr_dev , struct pvr_file
*pvr_file , struct drm_pvr_job *job_args , u32 *job_count , struct
pvr_job_data *job_data_out );

she returns an int, she takes five things, she's iconic πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • pvr_dev β€” the target PowerVR device. that's your main character right there πŸ‘‘
  • pvr_file β€” pointer to the PowerVR file structure.
  • job_args β€” the job args array, copied from user. (yes, from user β€” that's the vibe)
  • job_count β€” number of members in job_args. so like how many jobs we're working with, periodt.
  • job_data_out β€” the job data array. this is where the good stuff comes out πŸ“
