🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v4_0_page_ring_get_wptr — literally just "get the current write pointer". that's the whole vibe. no cap, that's it 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t sdma_v4_0_page_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

so you call it, you hand it a ring, and it gives you back a uint64_t. clean. slay. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu ring pointer. that's your one (1) input, bestie. the whole function runs on this. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

it gets the current wptr — the write pointer — straight from the hardware. and here's the tea: this is a VEGA10+ situation. so if your hardware is older than that, this function is not the main character for you, iykyk 😭

like, that's genuinely the entire description. the manpage said what it said and then dipped 💀 short king behavior fr fr
