🌸 amdgpu_atombios_fini(9) 🌸

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it's kind of iconic. it's giving "last one to leave the party turns off the lights" energy πŸ’‘βœ¨


✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_atombios_fini β€” free the driver info and callbacks for atombios 🫢

like, it's the cleanup crew. the friend who helps you pack up after the function. we love her for it.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void amdgpu_atombios_fini (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

no return value, bestie. she just does the thing and dips πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • adev β€” amdgpu_device pointer πŸ“ that's it. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer, and she's the main character.

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does she actually do? she frees the driver info and register access callbacks for the ATOM interpreter (r4xx+). 🧹✨

basically all that ATOM interpreter setup β€” the driver info, the register access callbacks β€” gets released here. and when does this get called? at driver shutdown. πŸšͺπŸŒ™ literally the "ok we're done here, everybody out" moment for the driver.

lowkey important: this is the teardown counterpart. if amdgpu_atombios_init(9) is the glow-up, this is the... un-glow-up? the cleanup. the self-care of releasing your resources πŸ’†β€β™€οΈ

πŸ’œ sign-off πŸ’œ

that's the whole page, bestie β€” short, sweet, and doing exactly one job 😭🫢 this came from the source over at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and yes it's still filed under amdgpu_atombios_fini(9) because some things never change πŸ’… periodt.
