STRUCT CAMIF_DMA_OFFSET(9)
π struct camif_dma_offset(9)
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ β yes we're reading kernel headers for fun now, this is who we are, and honestly? iconic behavior. today's main character is struct camif_dma_offset, and it's literally just two ints doing pixel math, no cap π
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct camif_dma_offset β pixel offset information for DMA π¦
like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's the little struct that tells the DMA engine where pixels start and where lines end. lowkey important, highkey tiny π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct camif_dma_offset {
int initial;
int line;
};
not me copying it exactly, character for character, because that's the whole point π the code stays perfectly as-is, only the commentary gets the glow-up π

okay so this is the part where we meet the two icons in the struct, and they are both int, and they are both about pixels:
initialβ the offset (in pixels) to the first pixel π like, where does the actual picture start? this one knows.lineβ the offset (in pixels) from the end of the line to the start of the next line π the lil gap between "done with this row" and "okay next row, let's go" β¨
two members, two jobs, no overlap, we love a clean division of labor π
π SEE ALSO π
go look at the kernel file ./drivers/media/platform/samsung/s3c-camif/camif-core.h β that's where this whole situation lives, fr fr π
and these besties are all in the same friend group:
struct camif_fmt(9)struct camif_frame(9)struct s3c_camif_variant(9)struct camif_vp(9)struct camif_dev(9)struct camif_addr(9)struct camif_buffer(9)
iykyk, it's giving "the entire camif cinematic universe" π
ngl bestie, if you're here it's because you're deep in the Samsung s3c-camif driver and you need to know exactly where your pixels land. that's valid. that's growth. π
and that's the tea π this little page came to you from ./drivers/media/platform/samsu... and it's dated October 2026, still signed struct camif_dma_offset(9) at the bottom because some things never change π byeee, go read more headers, I'm obsessed with you π§ββοΈβ¨
