📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ sdma_v7_0_emit_fill_buffer — fill buffer using the sDMA engine ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>sdma_v7_0_emit_fill_buffer</pink> page 💅 this is a Kernel API Manual entry, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big job" energy. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sdma_v7_0_emit_fill_buffer (struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint32_t
src_data , uint64_t dst_offset , uint32_t byte_count );

literally just one function, four args, void return — she doesn't even give you anything back, she just does the thing and dips 😭 iconic behaviour fr fr.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ib — the indirect buffer you're filling, bestie. this is the container, the main character of the operation 🫶
  • src_data — the actual value getting written into the buffer. it's a uint32_t, so it's 32 bits of pure potential ✨
  • dst_offset — the dst GPU address, aka where the magic lands 💖 it's a uint64_t because GPU addresses are fancy like that
  • byte_count — number of bytes to xfer. how much stuff are we moving? this tells you, queen 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Fill GPU buffers using the DMA engine.

that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, and confident — she said what she said 💀 and honestly we stan a concise icon. so basically: you have a GPU buffer, you have some data, and the DMA engine does the filling for you. efficient. slay. 🔥

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the kernel file itself, so you can go read the source and feel like a detective 🕵️‍♀️:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/sdma_v7_0.c

and the whole friend group 🫶 — every one of these is invited to the party:

ok so like, quick vibe check: everything above is straight from the manpage — no invented lore, no fake flags, just the facts with extra sparkle 🧚

that's the whole page, bestie. the source lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, the manual is dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under the sdma_v7_0_emit_fill_buffer(9) name — so if you need to cite her, you know exactly where to point 🎀💜 mwah, go fill some buffers 💅✨
