okay so bestie, welcome to the vcn_v2_0_dec_ring_get_rptr page from the Kernel API Manual π
β this is the one that hands you the read pointer, and honestly? iconic.
πΈ NAME πΈ
vcn_v2_0_dec_ring_get_rptr β get read pointer π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
uint64_t vcn_v2_0_dec_ring_get_rptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );
π ARGUMENTS π
ringβ anamdgpu_ringpointer, fr fr. that's the whole vibe, she just wants a pointer to the ring π«Ά
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Returns the current hardware read pointer. that's it, that's the tea β β you give her the ring, she gives you back the hardware's read pointer as a uint64_t, no cap π―

lowkey reminder bestie: that's the dec ring version β the encoder girlies live in the vcn_v2_0_enc_ring_* pages, don't mix them up π
and that's the page!! π it's from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and it lives at vcn_v2_0_dec_ring_get_rptr(9) β go get that read pointer, main character ππ«Άπ
