sdma_v5_0_ring_pad_ib(9)

✨ sdma_v5_0_ring_pad_ib ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes bestie, the kernel one, we're in the big leagues now 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v5_0_ring_pad_ib — pad the IB 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v5_0_ring_pad_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct amdgpu_ib
*ib );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ring — the amdgpu_ring structure that's holding all your ring information, she's the main character here 👑
• ib — the indirect buffer you're gonna fill with padding, get her cozy 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So what does it actually do?? It pads the IB with NOPs until it lands on a boundary that's a multiple of 8. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

Like, literally, NOPs to an 8-multiple. No cap. 🔥
