✨ sdma_v6_0_ring_set_wptr(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a tiny little function page but it absolutely carries, and yes we're gonna read the whole thing together, no skimming, i'm watching you 👀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v6_0_ring_set_wptr — the one where we commit the write pointer 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v6_0_ring_set_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, it's giving void, it gives nothing back because it doesn't need to 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ring — an amdgpu ring pointer. literally just the amdgpu ring pointer. hand it over, that's the whole vibe check ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Write the wptr back to the hardware. 🫶

that's the whole description bestie, i'm not even playing — the manpage said it in one line and honestly? iconic. the write pointer (that's "wptr" for the people in the back 👑) gets written back to the hardware. that's the tea, no cap ☕✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the source file, in case you wanna go read the real thing (you should, lowkey):
