sdma_v5_2_r...ipeline_sync(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 sdma_v5_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync 💫

okay bestie, quick vibe check first: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the big-brained kernel dev section, iykyk) and it's all about one lil function, sdma_v5_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync. Yes the header up top is truncated with ... because the name is lowkey too long for the line, that's just how it is, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v5_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync — sync the pipeline 🌀

Straight up. That's the whole job description. It syncs. The pipeline. Periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v5_2_ring_emit_pipeline_sync (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

So it returns void (nothing comes back, it's giving "the journey is the destination" ✨), and it takes exactly one thing: a pointer to a struct amdgpu_ring. Slay.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer 💍. That's the ring you're handing over so it can do its little pipeline-sync moment. That's the only argument, bestie, it's a one-argument icon.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Make sure all previous operations are completed (CIK). 🫶

That's it, that's the tea. Emit the sync so everything queued up before this point is done-done before you keep going. The (CIK) note is right there in the original and we're keeping it, because details are the main character here. ⭐

ngl this is one of those "short but it matters" functions — it's literally the fence at the end of the queue. 🚧

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
