ssize_t amdgpu_debugfs_gfxoff_residency_write (struct file *f , const
char __user *buf , size_t size , loff_t *pos );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • f β€” the open file handle, your lil entry ticket to the party 🎟️
  • buf β€” user buffer you're writing the data from, this is where the magic bytes live

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea πŸ“ β€” the whole function is a toggle, no cap:

  • write a 32-bit non-zero value β†’ logging starts, we're SO on πŸ”₯
  • write a 32-bit zero β†’ logging stops, pack it up, show's over 😭

that's it. that's the whole function. she's simple, she's iconic, she's a binary switch and honestly? respect. πŸ‘‘
