amdgpu_devic...esume_phase1(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 amdgpu_device_ip_resume_phase1 — like, the first resume phase, bestie

okay so real quick — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has its own manual, she's fancy 💅) and it's all about waking your AMD GPU's hardware IPs back up. stay with me, it's actually so good.

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_device_ip_resume_phase1 — run resume for hardware IPs 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_device_ip_resume_phase1 (struct amdgpu_device *adev);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. that's it, that's the whole argument. she's low-maintenance 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is the first resume function for hardware IPs. literally phase one, the opening act, the main character entrance 👑

Here's the vibe: the driver walks the whole list of hardware IPs that make up the asic — the entire roster — and runs the resume callbacks for COMMON, GMC, and IH. just those three for this phase, no cap. the other IPs get their moment in the later phases ✨

What does "resume" even mean here? it means putting the hardware into a functional state after a suspend, and updating the software state as necessary so everybody's on the same page. communication is key in any relationship, including driver↔hardware 💖

Oh and the plot twist: this function is also used for restoring the GPU after a GPU reset. so she's not just a wake-up call, she's also the recovery girlie 🔥

Returns 0 on success, or a negative error code on failure. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is LONG, grab a snack 🍓 — the kernel file itself lives at:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c

and then all the friends and neighbors:

ngl bestie, that SEE ALSO list is giving "she has a lot of friends and she's loyal to every single one" 🫶 don't skip it, iykyk.

aaand that's the page! sourced from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 — yeah she's from the future, we don't question it 💀✨ mwah, go read phase2 now 😘💖
