π NAME π
vcn_v4_0_is_idle β bestie, this one just checks if the VCN block is idle β¨
This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and yeah, the whole thing is literally named vcn_v4_0_is_idle(9) β say it three times fast, I dare you π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
bool vcn_v4_0_is_idle (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );
okay so it returns a bool, takes exactly one arg, and that's the whole vibe check fr fr π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
ip_blockβ a pointer to thestruct amdgpu_ip_blockstructure. That's it, that's the whole gift. You hand it the pointer, it does its little check π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Check whether the VCN block is idle.
Like, that's literally the entire thing, no cap. You call it, you find out if VCN is chillin' or not. Idle? Not idle? The function knows, you don't, that's the deal ππ
