💅 amdgpu_device_ip_fini(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for amdgpu_device_ip_fini. this is the vibe where we take the graphics hardware apart again after we so nicely put it together. 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_device_ip_fini — run fini for hardware IPs 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int amdgpu_device_ip_fini (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer. literally the pointer to the device we're tearing down. that's her. that's the whole argument. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

this is the main teardown pass for hardware IPs, no cap. 🫶

so the list of all the hardware IPs that make up the asic gets walked — like, every single one — and the hw_fini and sw_fini callbacks are run on each. the breakdown goes like this:

  • hw_fini tears down the hardware associated with each IP 🔥
  • sw_fini tears down any software state associated with each IP 💀

and then it gives you back:

  • 0 on success 🌈
  • a negative error code on failure 😭
it's giving "clean up your room before you leave," bestie. except the room is an entire asic and there are so many IPs. periodt.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file is at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c — iconic source material, go read it. 📖

and here's the whole friend group, every single one, no skipping:

and that's the page, bestie 💜 this cutie lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and the lovely folks at the Kernel API Manual dated it October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future and she's still doing teardown duty. slay. 🎀✨🦋
