radeon_vce_ib_execute(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 radeon_vce_ib_execute 💅

okay so bestie, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has its own manual, she's iconic like that) and it's all about one lil function in the radeon VCE world. buckle up, it's short but it's literally important.

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_vce_ib_execute — execute indirect buffer 🎀

like, it takes an IB and it executes it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void radeon_vce_ib_execute (struct radeon_device *rdev , struct
radeon_ib *ib );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she returns void (no return value, no drama, no receipts 💅) and she takes two pointers. periodt.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer 💖 like, the radeon device we're working with. your main character struct, basically.
  • ib — the IB to execute ✨ the indirect buffer itself, the thing getting executed. it's giving "here's the work, go do it."

ngl, that's a very chill argument list. two things in, vibes out.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

so like, if you wanna go deeper (and you should, she's a whole ecosystem), the kernel file is ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_vce.c and it's packed with friends:

the whole squad 🫶 like, init and fini are the classic duo, suspend/resume are the nap-and-wake-up queens, and the test functions are out here doing vibe checks so nothing breaks. iykyk.

fair warning bestie, lots of these are (9) manpage refs — hit them up with man 9 radeon_vce_init if you're nosy. the file path above is the source of truth, fr fr.

that's the page!! short, sweet, and fully caffeinated ☕💜 go execute some indirect buffers responsibly, bestie. 🌈⭐
