amdgpu_dm_irq_handler(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… amdgpu_dm_irq_handler β€” from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel docs today, specifically the Kernel API Manual, and we're talking about amdgpu_dm_irq_handler(9). sounds scary? it's not, i promise, come sit with me 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_dm_irq_handler β€” the Generic DM IRQ handler πŸ’… like that's literally its whole job title and it ate


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amdgpu_dm_irq_handler (struct amdgpu_device *adev , struct
amdgpu_irq_src *source , struct amdgpu_iv_entry *entry );

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, no freestyling bestie πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • adev β€” the amdgpu base driver device that's holding the DM device. it's giving "the responsible adult in the room" energy πŸ‘‘
  • source β€” literally Unused. not me pointing at it, it's just sitting there. we do not perceive it, we do not touch it, it is not the main character πŸ™ˆ
  • entry β€” the data about the triggered interrupt. this one's the actual tea being spilled β˜•

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so here's the vibe: amdgpu_dm_irq_handler calls all the registered high irq work immediately, and for the low irq it schedules the work instead. high irq gets the instant treatment, low irq gets a little "bestie i'll get to you in a sec" appointment πŸŽ€

and how does it know who handles what? the DM IRQ table is used to find the corresponding handlers. that's it, that's the lookup, the table is the directory, periodt πŸ¦‹


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

yeah that's a whole friend group of cross-references and every single one of them made the list πŸ’… no cap, not a single one skipped, we love a complete SEE ALSO section 🌈


ngl the entire page is short and sweet β€” one function, three arguments, one table lookup, and a whole lot of kernel friends. iconic behaviour honestly πŸ’–

and that's the tea, bestie ✨ this page came straight out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and it's dated October 2026, with amdgpu_dm_irq_handler(9) right there in the footer like a signature. go forth and handle those interrupts, you absolute star πŸŽ€πŸ’–πŸŒŸ
