amdgpu_gfx_...ring_end_use(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_end_use β€” the Kernel API Manual page (section 9, bestie)

okay so this is the manual page for amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_end_use(9) from the Kernel API Manual β€” yes the whole name is a mouthful, we're saying it together, breathe 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_end_use β€” the "okay we're done with the ring now" helper for rings that have enforced isolation turned on πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_gfx_enforce_isolation_ring_end_use(struct amdgpu_ring *ring);

that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, it's giving void main character energy ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ring β€” a pointer to the amdgpu_ring structure. literally just a pointer to the ring struct, she's not complicated πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so this is the end_use helper implementation for gfx β€” the end half of the whole begin/end situation. what it does is serialize access to the gfx IP between kernel submission IOCTLs and KFD user queues whenever isolation enforcement is enabled πŸ”₯

and like, because both of those things want the gfx IP, they each get a time slice when both are active. sharing is caring, no cap 🀝

bestie this one's from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, stamped October 2026, living in the Kernel API Manual section 9 β€” go read the begin_use one too, they're a matching set πŸŽ€πŸ’–βœ¨
