πŸ’– vega20_ih_get_wptr(9) β€” the kernel API manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, you're looking at vega20_ih_get_wptr from the kernel API manual, and honestly? it's a little function with main character energy. it lives in the amdgpu world and it's here to fetch your IH ring buffer's write pointer. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

vega20_ih_get_wptr β€” get the IH ring buffer wptr πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

u32 vega20_ih_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
       amdgpu_ih_ring *ih );

like, it takes two pointers and hands you back a u32. no cap. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adev β€” amdgpu_device pointer, aka your lil device handle πŸ’–
  • ih β€” amdgpu_ih_ring pointer, the ring buffer in question πŸ¦‹

πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

so what does it actually do? it gets the IH ring buffer wptr from either the register or the writeback memory buffer (VEGA20 β€” yes, that's the one, periodt). then it also checks for ring buffer overflow and deals with it, because that's just the kind of responsible icon it is πŸ‘‘

and then? it returns the value of the wptr. that's the whole vibe. iykyk πŸ’œ
