okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this is the page for radeon_cs_packet_next_reloc, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
radeon_cs_packet_next_reloc β parse the next packet (which should be a reloc packet, but like... we check π)
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int radeon_cs_packet_next_reloc (struct radeon_cs_parser *p , struct
radeon_bo_list **cs_reloc , int nomm );
she takes three args and returns an int, periodt π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
pβ the parser structure that holds all the parsing context. she's the main character of this whole operation, fr fr πcs_relocβ the reloc informations. yes, "informations." the kernel said what it said and we respect it πnommβ no memory management, for debugging. literally what it says on the tin π§
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she actually do? okay so β she checks whether the next packet is a relocation packet3 π₯, and if it is, she does bo validation and computes the GPU offset using the provided start. that's the whole vibe check right there β¨
no cap, that's it. short, sweet, iconic π
