💅 sdma_v4_4_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync(9) — bestie's guide

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (the kernel interfaces girlies), and the function we're obsessing over today is sdma_v4_4_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync. yes the header up top gets truncated to sdma_v4_4_2...ipeline_sync(9) — that's just the man page being dramatic and running out of room, the full name is in NAME, we move. 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. literally just a pointer to the amdgpu_ring, that's the whole thing, no cap. 🫶
