🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int amdgpu_device_gpu_recover (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
       amdgpu_job *job , struct amdgpu_reset_context *reset_context );

like, three args, one int coming back, we love a clean signature fr fr 💖

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer 👑 this is your GPU's whole personality file
  • job — which job trigger hang 🙈 the lil guy that got us into this mess
  • reset_context — amdgpu reset context pointer 🫶 all the context for the reset vibe

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Attempt to reset the GPU if it has hung (all asics). 🫠✨ she'll attempt to do a soft-reset or a full-reset and then reinitialize the Asic. Returns 0 for success or an error on failure. periodt.

ngl, "if it has hung" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here — this whole function is basically the GPU's "have you tried turning it off and on again" era 💀
