πŸ’… amdgpu_acpi_pcie_notify_device_ready(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about amdgpu_acpi_pcie_notify_device_ready. yes that's a long name. no we're not shortening it. it's giving "my mom named me after the whole family tree" energy and we respect it. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_acpi_pcie_notify_device_ready β€” that's it, that's the name. the description slot is literally empty, and honestly? sometimes you just show up, say your name, and leave. main character energy fr fr. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_acpi_pcie_notify_device_ready (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

copy it. paste it. don't touch the spacing. πŸ’…


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • adev β€” an amdgpu_device pointer. that's the whole mood. it's the GPU's little passport, and we're handing it over.

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so what does it actually do? it executes the PCIE_DEVICE_READY_NOTIFICATION method β€” on all asics, no exceptions, no faves. ⭐

and it's a real one about the return value, ngl:

  • returns 0 on success πŸŽ‰
  • returns an error on failure 😭

that's it. that's the function. it walks in, it screams "the device is READY" into the ACPI void, and it comes back with a status code. iconic behavior. ate and left no crumbs. πŸ’€

ngl the whole atif / atcs / acpi cluster is a lot to hold in your head at once, but that's literally why manpages exist. you got this. πŸ“
