STRUCT VPU_WDT(9)
π struct vpu_wdt(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes, the whole manual, we're living large today. this little page is all about struct vpu_wdt, aka the VPU watchdog workqueue. it's giving "the thing that watches the watcher" and honestly? iconic. π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
struct vpu_wdt β the VPU watchdog workqueue. that's it, that's the vibe. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole struct, bestie, character for character, don't @ me:
struct vpu_wdt {
struct vpu_wdt_handler handler[VPU_RST_MAX];
struct work_struct ws;
struct workqueue_struct *wq;
};
look at her. three members. no cap, that's the whole thing. β¨
π¦ MEMBERS π¦
so like, let's go member by member, because every single one matters:
handlerβ the VPU watchdog reset handler π β and note it's an array ofVPU_RST_MAXof them, because we're thorough in this house.wsβ thework_structfor the VPU watchdog. this is the workstruct, working hard so you don't have to. π₯wqβ the workqueue for the VPU watchdog. it's aworkqueue_struct *, so yes, it's a pointer, and yes, it's main character energy. π
π SEE ALSO π
go read these next, bestie, they're all connected, iykyk:
- the kernel file
./drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vpu/mtk_vpu.cβ that's the source file, fr fr enum vpu_fw_type(9)struct vpu_mem(9)struct vpu_regs(9)struct vpu_wdt_handler(9)struct vpu_run(9)struct vpu_ipi_desc(9)struct share_obj(9)struct mtk_vpu(9)
like a little friend group. all of them. go say hi. π
π§ sign-off π§
this page came from ./drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vpu/mtk_vpu.c (yes, the path got squished in the original footer too, we keep it real), and it's dated October 2026. slay. β
anyway ily, go read a struct, drink some water, and remember: the watchdog is watching ππΈ
