💫 uvd_v4_2_ring_emit_ib(9) 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual section nine — this one's a little function from the AMDGPU crew and it's lowkey iconic in a very specific "I make the hardware do the thing" way. No cap, let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

uvd_v4_2_ring_emit_ib — execute indirect buffer

literally what it says on the tin, babe. it executes an indirect buffer. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void uvd_v4_2_ring_emit_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct amdgpu_job
*job , struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint32_t flags );

it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. your ring. the main character of this whole operation fr fr. 👑
  • job — the iob associated with the indirect buffer. (yes, the manual literally writes iob there, we are NOT fixing it, we love her exactly as she is 💀)
  • ib — the indirect buffer to execute. the actual thing getting run. she's the moment. ⭐
  • flags — flags associated with the indirect buffer. the lil details that ride along. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Write ring commands to execute the indirect buffer.

that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, and absolutely not doing small talk. the function's whole job is to write ring commands so the indirect buffer gets executed — no extra lore, no side quests, we stay focused in this house. ✨
