STRUCT VPU_RUN(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’œ struct vpu_run(9) β€” like, the whole manual page, bestie

okay so quick vibe check: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct vpu_run β€” yes, the VPU initialization status king itself πŸ‘‘βœ¨ grab a strawberry πŸ“ and let's get into it.


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct vpu_run β€” literally the VPU initialization status. that's it, that's the whole thing πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct vpu_run {
    u32 signaled;
    char fw_ver[VPU_FW_VER_LEN];
    unsigned int    dec_capability;
    unsigned int    enc_capability;
    wait_queue_head_t wq;
 };

no cap, that's the exact struct, character for character, don't @ me πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • signaled β€” the signal of vpu initialization completed. basically the little "we're so back" flag 🚩
  • fw_ver β€” VPU firmware version. the firmware's whole identity, stored in a char array of length VPU_FW_VER_LEN πŸ¦‹
  • dec_capability β€” decoder capability which is not used for now and the value is reserved for future use. so like... it's giving placeholder main character energy 😭 it's not doing anything yet, it's just vibing there reserved for the future
  • enc_capability β€” encoder capability which is not used for now and the value is reserved for future use. same situation fr fr, also reserved for future use, also not used for now 🫢
  • wq β€” wait queue for VPU initialization status. the actual wait_queue_head_t where everyone waits around for the init status to show up ⏳
lowkey note: dec_capability and enc_capability are both not used for now and their values are reserved for future use β€” so don't go building your whole personality around them yet bestie πŸ’€

okay that's the whole page, you understood it perfectly, I'm so proud of you πŸ§šπŸ’–

sign-off time: this came from ./drivers/media/platform/media..., dated October 2026, and it's the struct vpu_run(9) page. periodt. πŸŽ€βœ¨
