STRUCT IPU3_UAPI_SHD_GENERAL_CONFIG(9)

💖 struct ipu3_uapi_shd_general_config — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so you opened the manpage for struct ipu3_uapi_shd_general_config and you're like "what is this" — totally valid, let's get into it. This is the Shading general config struct, and it lives in the Linux kernel API docs. Welcome, you're gonna slay this 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct ipu3_uapi_shd_general_config — Shading general config. That's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ipu3_uapi_shd_general_config {
    __u32 init_set_vrt_offst_ul:8;
    __u32 shd_enable:1;
    __u32 gain_factor:2;
    __u32 reserved:21;
 };

look at her. bitfields. iconic. every one of those numbers is a real width and we are NOT changing them 🎀

---

✨ Members ✨

• init_set_vrt_offst_ul — sets the vertical offset, and it's literally doing this math: y_start >> block_height_log2 % grid_height_per_slice. no cap, that's the whole thing. 📐
• shd_enable — shading enable. on or off, the vibes switch 🦋
• gain_factor — the Gain factor. It shifts the calculated anti shading value, with precision u2. Full breakdown, because she did NOT come to play:
  • 0x0 — gain factor [1, 5], means no shift interpolated value.
  • 0x1 — gain factor [1, 9], means shift interpolated by 1.
  • 0x2 — gain factor [1, 17], means shift interpolated by 2.
• reserved — reserved. leave her alone, she's resting 💀

---

✨ Description ✨

so what does it actually DO? Correction is performed by multiplying a gain factor for each of the 4 Bayer channels as a function of the pixel location in the sensor. four channels, gain factor per channel, mapped off where the pixel sits in the sensor. that's the whole glow-up 🌸
