💅 radeon_ring_lockup_update(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for radeon_ring_lockup_update(9), and honestly it's a little one, but she's important, so let's give her the full main-character treatment 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_ring_lockup_update — update lockup variables 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void radeon_ring_lockup_update (struct radeon_device *rdev , struct
       radeon_ring *ring );

like, that's the whole signature — void return, two pointers, no drama. periodt 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — the radeon device structure 💖 like, the whole graphics device vibe.
  • ring — the radeon_ring structure holding ring information 🌈 this one's got the ring deets.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Update the last rptr value and timestamp (all asics). 🕐

that's it, that's the whole job — she refreshes the last read pointer and stamps it with the current time, and she does it on all asics, no exceptions, no cap 💅

ngl this is the kind of function that quietly keeps the lockup detection from getting confused — icon behaviour, lowkey 🔥
