okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the function it's about is vcn_v5_0_2_unified_ring_get_wptr — yes the name is giving "my parents named me after a stack trace" but it's fine, we love her 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcn_v5_0_2_unified_ring_get_wptr — bestie's whole job is get unified write pointer and honestly? she ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t vcn_v5_0_2_unified_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

that's it. one (1) argument. one (1) uint64_t coming back at you. no cap. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer, aka the ring struct you're passing in. that's the whole vibe. lowkey the most low-effort argument list ever and I respect it 🧚

Returns the current hardware unified write pointer. that's literally it, and she says exactly what she does — main character energy, zero filler, not me being obsessed with a function this straightforward 😭
