vcn_v1_0_enc_ring_emit_ib(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vcn_v1_0_enc_ring_emit_ib(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page bestie 🫶

okay so picture this: you're deep in the AMDGPU driver, the VCN v1.0 encoder ring is sitting there vibing, and somebody needs to actually execute an indirect buffer. that's this function. it's the group-chat notification that makes the ring go do its thing ✨

✨ NAME ✨

vcn_v1_0_enc_ring_emit_ib — literally just "enc execute indirect buffer". that's the whole assignment, bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vcn_v1_0_enc_ring_emit_ib (struct amdgpu_ring *ring , struct
amdgpu_job *job , struct amdgpu_ib *ib , uint32_t flags );

no return value, she's void, she just does the thing and dips 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. iconic. this is the ring she's writing commands into 🌈
  • job — the job, and yes, we're pulling the vmid out of it (the original spells it "retrive", so go off, typos, we still love you 💀)
  • ib — the indirect buffer we're about to execute 🔥
  • flags — unused. she's there for the vibes. not consulted, not read, just present 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Write enc ring commands to execute the indirect buffer. that's it. that's the sentence. she writes the commands, the ring executes the indirect buffer, everybody goes home 🫶

no cap, this is the whole job — it's giving "short function, big responsibility" and honestly? ate.
