💅 xe_guc_ct_q...time_jiffies(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes it's a kernel page, yes it's got a truncated name with a little ... in the middle (iykyk), and yes we're gonna get through it together. this is the page for xe_guc_ct_queue_proc_time_jiffies, and it's short, so hydrate and let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_guc_ct_queue_proc_time_jiffies — returns the maximum time it takes to process a whole, full CT command queue. literally that's the whole job. 👑

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

long xe_guc_ct_queue_proc_time_jiffies (struct xe_guc_ct *ct);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ct — the xe_guc_ct. unused at this moment but it's gonna be used in the future, so like… character development. the parameter is there, it's just not doing anything yet. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the observation that this whole function is built on: a 4KiB buffer stuffed full of commands takes a little over a second to process. 😭 that's the vibe check. and the function uses that fact to calculate the maximum time needed to process a full CT command queue.

like, that's it. that's the lore. she's a calculator and she's thriving. 🧮✨

💜 RETURN 💜

the maximum time to process a full CT queue, measured in jiffies. that's the unit bestie, don't come at her with seconds. ⏱️💅

ok that's the whole page and no cap, it really was that short. go read the friends list, there's like sixteen of them, they're all iconic in their own way. 🍓

sign-off time 🎀 this came to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026, and it lives at xe_guc_ct_q...time_jiffies(9) — mwah, take care of her, byeee 👑💖
