💖 amdgpu_fence_driver_hw_init(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the amdgpu_fence_driver_hw_init page — it's a kernel API manual entry, and honestly? it's a little baddie. let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_fence_driver_hw_init — literally just enables the fence driver for all possible rings. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_fence_driver_hw_init (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

like, no return value, no drama, just vibes. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • adev — the amdgpu device pointer. that's your main character right there. 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what it actually does: it enables the fence driver for all possible rings — and yes, that means across all asics. slay. ✨

but here's the tea ☕ — not all asics have all rings. so instead of being messy about it, each asic will only start the fence driver on the rings it actually has, using amdgpu_fence_driver_start_ring. it's giving "know your limits, respect your limits." 🌈

and it Returns 0 for success. 🎉

and the rest of the squad, alphabetically-ish and in the exact order the original served them:

and that's the page! 🍓 this little manual lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, and it's dated October 2026 — yes, future icon behavior, we love to see it. 💜 bye bestie, go read some kernel source, iykyk 🧚‍♀️⭐
