💅 amdgpu_device_reset_sriov — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

Okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's the whole amdgpu_device_reset_sriov moment. It's short, it's iconic, and it does exactly one thing. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_device_reset_sriov — reset ASIC for SR-IOV vf, no cap 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_device_reset_sriov (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
       amdgpu_reset_context *reset_context );

That's the whole vibe, honestly. Two args, one int coming back at you 💖

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • adev — the amdgpu_device pointer, aka your main character. It's the device you're doing all of this to 💅
  • reset_context — the amdgpu reset context pointer. This is the reset-context receipt that tags along so everyone knows what kind of reset we're on 🌈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

It does VF FLR and reinitialize Asic — literally that's the job, and it ate ✨

And because the return value matters, let's spell it out for the group chat: return 0 means it succeeded. Anything otherwise = failed, and you and me are gonna have a little talk about it 😭

Nothing else. No secret extra steps, no hidden lore. Periodt. 👑

Lowkey the most important thing here: 0 = good, not-0 = not good. That's the vibe check you cannot skip, bestie 🧚

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

The kernel file this whole situation lives in: ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c — go read it, it's giving main character energy 📖

And here's the extended friend group, all of them, in the order the page serves them to us. Obsessed with how long this list is 💀

And that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀✨ Sourced straight outta ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 — go forth and reset that ASIC responsibly 💖🦋🌸
