💅 radeon_vce_cs_reloc(9) — a whole Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to radeon_vce_cs_reloc from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, it's giving "official documentation but make it cute" ✨ this one is short and sweet but she is important, so pay attention 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_vce_cs_reloc — command submission relocation. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she relocates stuff during command submission and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int radeon_vce_cs_reloc (struct radeon_cs_parser *p , int lo , int hi ,
       unsigned size );

like literally just look at her 😭 takes four things, gives you back an int, iconic behaviour, no notes 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • p — the parser context. your main character struct, the whole reason we're here 🔥
  • lo — address of lower dword. lowercase dword. the bottom half. she's down there 🌸
  • hi — address of higher dword. the upper half, riding high, matching energy 👑
  • size — size of checker for relocation buffer. yes she said checker, that's the actual field, we don't question the naming ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Patch relocation inside command stream with real buffer address 💅

that's the whole thing, and honestly? that's the whole job. she reaches into the command stream, finds the relocation that's sitting there all fake and placeholder-y, and patches it up with the real buffer address. lowkey a glow-up. highkey essential. no cap.

like not me being the one who fixes up your addresses before the GPU sees them 😭 somebody has to do it and it's her, periodt.
