β¨ si_dma_ring_emit_pipeline_sync(9) β¨
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this one's a tiny little function page but it's lowkey important, so let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
si_dma_ring_emit_pipeline_sync β sync the pipeline. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she does one job and she does it π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void si_dma_ring_emit_pipeline_sync (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );
yep, that's the whole signature β no cap, she takes one argument and returns nothing (void), so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one π
π ARGUMENTS π
ringβ anamdgpu_ringpointer. that's the whole description fr fr, it's just the ring you're working with π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
Make sure all previous operations are completed (CIK). β¨
like, literally β she's the vibe check for your pipeline: everything you queued up before this point needs to be done before anything else happens. it's giving "wait for the group chat to finish reading before you send the next message" energy π and yes, this one's the CIK flavour, iykyk π
π SEE ALSO π
the kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/si_dma.c β go read the source if you want the full lore π

ngl bestie, that's genuinely the entire page β no bugs section, no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses. sometimes a manpage is short and that's slay π
and that's a wrap, bestie π§π this cutie came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and you can find her again under si_dma_ring_...ipeline_sync(9) β mwah, go sync that pipeline ππ
