📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 amdgpu_devic..._recover_gpu(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes the title is literally truncated to amdgpu_devic..._recover_gpu(9) because apparently even the manpage gods ran out of character budget 💀 but the actual function inside is amdgpu_device_should_recover_gpu, and that's the one we're vibing with today 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_device_should_recover_gpu — the little checkbox that goes "hmm, should we actually try to rescue this GPU or are we just gonna stand here looking cute?" 🩺💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool amdgpu_device_should_recover_gpu (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. returns a bool, takes one pointer, no drama, main character energy only 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer 💫 your friendly neighbourhood handle to the AMD GPU device we're checking up on. give it the tea and it'll tell you what's what.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this function peeks at amdgpu_gpu_recovery and the SRIOV</> status to figure out whether we should even try to recover a hung GPU 😭🔥

like — a GPU is stuck, everyone's stressed, and this little function is the responsible bestie who checks the group chat before we all pile into a rescue mission. it doesn't do the recovering, it just gives the green light (or doesn't) 💅 no cap.

fr fr this is a check — it does not perform the recovery itself. it just tells you whether attempting it is even the move 🙈
