✨ NAME ✨

si_dma_ring_pad_ib — pad the IB to the required number of dw 🫶

like, that's literally the whole job. it pads. the IB. to the required number of dw. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void si_dma_ring_pad_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct amdgpu_ib *ib
);

that's the whole signature, not me being lazy 💀 it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer 👑 like, the ring in question, that's the vibe.
• ib — the indirect buffer to fill with padding ✨ this is the one getting padded, main character energy honestly.
