🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_device_switch_gang — switch to a new gang. That's the whole name. Iconic, concise, no notes ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving very much kernel C, and it is exactly this:

, struct dma_fence *gang );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer. yes ma'am, the device pointer 💖
  • gang — the gang to switch to. that's the actual parameter name, I don't make the rules 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Try to switch to a new gang.

That's it. That's the description. No extra lore in the manual, so I'm not gonna invent any technical claims — periodt 💀
