πŸ’– struct mtk_vcodec_dec_request(9) πŸ’–

hey bestie!! so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct mtk_vcodec_dec_request β€” aka the Media request's very own private data. it's giving backstage-pass energy tbh πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct mtk_vcodec_dec_request β€” Media request private data. no cap, that's the whole job description πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole struct, look at her:

struct mtk_vcodec_dec_request {
    struct kref refcount;
    struct media_request req;
};

two members, both iconic, both doing their own little thing πŸ¦‹


🫢 Members 🫢

  • refcount β€” this one's the vibes guardian πŸ›‘οΈ it's used to ensure we don't complete the request too soon. like bestie please, let her finish her moment, do not rush the request. the reference count is literally there so the completion doesn't jump the gun.
  • req β€” the Media Request structure itself. main character energy, honestly πŸ‘‘ it's the actual media request that this private data is, y'know, private data for.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • Kernel file β€” ./drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/decoder/mtk_vcodec_dec_drv.h πŸ“ go read it, iykyk
  • struct vdec_pic_info(9), struct mtk_vcodec_dec_pdata(9), struct mtk_vcodec_dec_ctx(9), struct mtk_vcodec_dec_dev(9) β€” the whole friend group, go say hi to all of them πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

lowkey just a reminder: refcount exists so the request does not get completed too soon. that's not a suggestion, that's her whole purpose, fr fr 🌟
