spu_bind_context(9)

💖 spu_bind_context (9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Cell SPU scheduler files and this little function is literally the moment two things become official 🫶 it's from the kernel API manual, and it is so much simpler than it looks, i promise.

🌸 NAME 🌸

spu_bind_context — bind spu context to physical spu 💅

like. that's the whole gig. it takes a context and it binds it to a physical spu. iconic behaviour, no notes.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void spu_bind_context (struct spu *spu , struct spu_context *ctx );

yes it's a void — it returns nothing, it just does the thing and leaves. main character energy honestly. 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• spu — the physical spu you're binding to. that's the real one, the actual hardware-side buddy 🌈
• ctx — the context you're binding. the lil guy getting attached 🎀

two arguments. that's it. that's the whole shopping list. periodt.
