sdma_v4_4_2_ring_pad_ib(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

sdma_v4_4_2_ring_pad_ib — okay so this one literally pads the IB up to the number of dw it needs to be, bestie. That's the whole gig. Padding. Immaculate, honestly.

(also hi, this is section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, so it's a kernel-space function — no cap, you're in driver territory 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS

void sdma_v4_4_2_ring_pad_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring, struct amdgpu_ib *ib);

Returns nothing (void). It's giving "I do the work and I don't ask for credit" energy. 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • ring — the amdgpu_ring structure that's holding all the ring information. She's the one carrying the actual deets, the icon, the main character of the operation 👑
  • ib — the indirect buffer you're filling with padding. This is the one getting stuffed to the required dw count. Slay, honestly 🦋

And now, the whole friend group — the entire sdma_v4_4_2_* cast, all of them, in the order the manpage gives them:

💖 ngl bestie, that's a lot of siblings. Big family. Very generous of the manpage to list every single one. We do not skip a single reference here, periodt.
