amdgpu_pm_put_access(9)

✨ amdgpu_pm_put_access(9) ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one tiny function that keeps your GPU from getting stuck awake forever. it's giving "closing the door behind you" energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_pm_put_access — put to auto suspend mode after a device access. that's it, that's the whole gig 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amdgpu_pm_put_access (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

like, it returns nothing (void, bestie — it's a "do the thing and dip" situation) and it takes exactly one pointer. periodt.

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• adev — the target device. the struct amdgpu_device * you're letting go of. literally the only thing you hand it ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so when you're done poking at the device, you call this and it puts things back into auto suspend mode. it's the "okay bye ily" of device access 🥺

bestie, listen: this should be paired with the amdgpu_pm_get_access* calls. unpaired calls are not the vibe. no cap.
