sdma_v3_0_ring_set_wptr(9)
π sdma_v3_0_ring_set_wptr (9) β the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute π
okay so bestie, welcome to the sdma_v3_0_ring_set_wptr man page π
this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a tiny little legend. lowkey one job, does it well, periodt.
β¨ NAME β¨
sdma_v3_0_ring_set_wptr β commit the write pointer π«Ά
like, that's it. that's the whole gig. she commits the write pointer and she goes home. iconic behavior honestly.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void sdma_v3_0_ring_set_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );
no cap, that's the whole signature. void in, void out, one single argument, zero drama β¨
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
ringβ an amdgpu ring pointer, bestie π that's the one and only thing you hand her. just the ring pointer. that's the vibe check, she passed it.
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she actually do? she writes the wptr back to the hardware (VI+) π₯
the way that's literally the entire description and it still ate π "write the wptr back to the hardware" β clear, concise, main character energy. the (VI+) is doing a lot of work there too, iykyk. hardware gets the wptr, the wptr is committed, we all move on π
ngl this is the kind of function that just shows up, does exactly one thing, and doesn't overexplain itself. respect. π
π SEE ALSO π
okay so she has a lot of friends and we're gonna list every single one of them because we're not skipping anybody, that's not the energy here π β¨
