vega20_ih_get_wptr(9)
π vega20_ih_get_wptr(9) β the kernel API manual, but make it cute β¨
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 π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
vega20_ih_get_wptr β get the IH ring buffer wptr π
π SYNOPSIS π
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. β¨
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
adevβ amdgpu_device pointer, aka your lil device handle πihβ amdgpu_ih_ring pointer, the ring buffer in question π¦
π« DESCRIPTION π«
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 π
and then? it returns the value of the wptr. that's the whole vibe. iykyk π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
the kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vega20_ih.c β go say hi to it, it's iconic π
