💅 amdgpu_vce_ring_end_use(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally called amdgpu_vce_ring_end_use — yes that's a mouthful, iykyk, just vibe with it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vce_ring_end_use — power VCE down 🫶

like. that's the whole job. it powers the VCE down. iconic honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_vce_ring_end_use (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

that's it, that's the signature. returns void, so nothing comes back to you — no tea, no drama, no return value. it just does the thing ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — amdgpu ring 🌈 (yes that's the entire description, she's lowkey mysterious like that)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Schedule work to power VCE down again ⭐

that's the whole plot bestie — it doesn't power down right now, it schedules work to power VCE down again. so it's a queue-it-up situation, not a do-it-this-instant situation. no cap 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file is right here if you wanna go read the source yourself, main character behavior:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vce.c

and the whole VCE friend group, all of them, every single one, no skipping 🔥:

note that amdgpu_vce_ring_begin_use(9) is right there in the list — so this is the end of that whole saga, the closing credits, the group chat "ok bye" 🧚

and that's the page!! 🍓 this little cutie lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 — stay hydrated, go power your VCE down (again, eventually, as scheduled work), mwah 💋💖
