sdma_v6_0_r...it_hdp_flush(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

sdma_v6_0_ring_emit_hdp_flush — bestie, this is the one that emits an hdp flush on the DMA ring ✨

So like, the manual page name got all squished in the header (sdma_v6_0_r...it_hdp_flush(9)) because terminal widths are rude, but we move 💅 — it's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's a whole kernel thing, don't worry, I got you 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sdma_v6_0_ring_emit_hdp_flush (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

Lowkey the whole vibe of this function in one line: it returns void (so no return value to obsess over), it's called sdma_v6_0_ring_emit_hdp_flush, and it takes exactly one thing: a struct amdgpu_ring * named ring 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — amdgpu ring pointer. That's it. That's the whole argument. One (1) ring pointer, main character energy, no notes 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Emit an hdp flush packet on the requested DMA ring 💫

That's literally the assignment, fr fr — you hand it the ring you want, and it emits the hdp flush packet on that DMA ring. Nothing sketchy, nothing extra, no cap 🌈

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/sdma_v6_0.c — that's the actual home of this whole family, go say hi 🏠

Okay so the friend group is big and I love that for them, here's everyone 💜

ngl, reading the whole squad in one sitting is a lot, but that's the roster — every single one of them, no skips, we don't gatekeep here 🙈

That's the whole page, babe. Source/version lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, it's dated October 2026, and this cutie was brought to you by the kernel docs — mwah, go emit some flushes responsibly 💅✨🎀
