πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int sdma_v3_0_ring_test_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , long timeout );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ring β€” the amdgpu_ring structure holding ring information, aka the ring's whole little info bag. 🫢
  • timeout β€” timeout value in jiffies, or MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT. That is the wait-time situation, no cap. ⏳

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Test a simple IB in the DMA ring (VI). That is it, that is the vibe. It returns 0 on success, and error on failure β€” so 0 is the slay outcome, and error means something went sideways. 😭
