💅 amdgpu_gfx_...ng_begin_use — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, because this is the amdgpu_gfx_...ng_begin_use(9) page from the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly kind of a baddie 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_begin_use — the "begin use" moment for a ring, but make it enforced isolation ✨ lowkey the whole point is that this ring knows how to share 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_begin_use (struct amdgpu_ring
*ring );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ring — a pointer to the struct amdgpu_ring structure. like, the actual ring. the main character of this function tbh 👑

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea ☕ — this is the ring begin_use helper implementation for gfx, and what it does is serialize access to the gfx IP between kernel submission IOCTLs and KFD user queues whenever isolation enforcement is enabled 🔥

basically: when both of those are active, they each get a time slice. sharing is caring, bestie, and this function is the one holding the clipboard 📋✨

fr fr, the word "enforce" is right there in the name — this isn't vibes-based access, it's enforced isolation, iykyk 💀
