sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🎀

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the Kernel API Manual entry for sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib — Schedule an IB on the DMA engine. that's it, that's the whole name, and she ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct
amdgpu_job *job , struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint32_t flags );

so it returns void (no receipts, no return value, she simply does the thing 🫶) and takes four args. iconic signature ngl.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — the amdgpu ring pointer 💫 like, the ring we're scheduling onto, bestie.
  • job — the job we're pulling the vmid from 👑 (yes, retrieve — that's her whole job here).
  • ib — the IB object we're about to schedule 🌈 this is the main character of the arg list fr fr.
  • flags — unused 😭 literally unused. not me including it anyway because it's in the signature. periodt.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Schedule an IB in the DMA ring (VI). that's the whole description and it's lowkey iconic in its brevity — no cap, some manpages write paragraphs, this one said "say less" 💀✨

ngl this is the VI-generation DMA ring we're talking about, so keep that in mind 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the source file herself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/sdma_v3_0.c

and now the whole friend group (no one left out, we don't do that here 💜):

💀 reminder: flags is unused. i don't make the rules, i just hype them.

and that's the tea ☕ this page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, bookmark it, screenshot it, send it to the group chat, because sdma_v3_0_ring_emit_ib(9) said "I'll see you in October" and she meant it 🌈⭐💖
