💖 sdma_v5_2_ring_get_wptr (9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>sdma_v5_2_ring_get_wptr</pink> era of the Kernel API Manual, this one is short and sweet and honestly? a little iconic. it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v5_2_ring_get_wptr — get the current write pointer 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

uint64_t sdma_v5_2_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

like, that's it. one argument. returns a uint64_t. she's low maintenance, she's efficient. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ring — an amdgpu ring pointer, aka the lil ring you're asking about. hand her over and she'll tell you what's up. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? <hotpink>she gets the current wptr from the hardware</hotpink>. that's "wptr" as in write pointer, iykyk. and the <purple>(NAVI10+)</purple> in parentheses? that's the vibe check — this is the NAVI10-and-later situation, no cap. 🧚

that's the whole description. no plot twists, no hidden caveats, just a hardware read. periodt. ✨
