✨ uvd_v6_0_ring_emit_ib(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a whole little vibe. it's all about uvd_v6_0_ring_emit_ib, which is a function that goes brrr in the AMDGPU driver. let's get into it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

uvd_v6_0_ring_emit_ib — execute indirect buffer. that's it, that's the whole job. she executes. she's an indirect buffer executor. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void uvd_v6_0_ring_emit_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct amdgpu_job
*job , struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint32_t flags );

like, it returns void — no return value, no drama, she simply does the thing and leaves 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. your ring. your main character ring, honestly.
  • job — the job to retrieve vmid from. yes bestie, the vmid comes from here, that's literally its whole purpose in this function.
  • ib — the indirect buffer to execute. this is the actual star of the show ✨
  • flags — unused. not used. zero. nothing. she's just here for the function signature, and we respect her for that 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Write ring commands to execute the indirect buffer. that's the description, verbatim in spirit — she writes ring commands, and those commands are what execute the indirect buffer. no cap. 🔥
