π amdgpu_virt_release_full_gpu(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie
Okay so real talk, this page is about amdgpu_virt_release_full_gpu β it's living in the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the function that gives the full GPU access back. Giving it back, releasing it, letting it go. Main character energy of "okay I'm done with the GPU now, she's all yours" π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
amdgpu_virt_release_full_gpu β release full gpu access. That's it, that's the whole vibe. You're handing the keys back π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int amdgpu_virt_release_full_gpu (struct amdgpu_device *adev , bool init );
Two args, one int return, no cap. Slay.
π ARGUMENTS π
adevβ the amdgpu device. Your little GPU guy. The one you're releasing access to πinitβ is driver init time. When finishing driver init/fini, need to release full gpu access. So like, when the driver is wrapping up its init/fini era, you gotta let go of the full GPU access. Periodt, that's the rule π¦
β RETURN β
Zero if release success, otherwise will returen error. (Yes bestie, returen β that's exactly how it's written in the source and I am not touching it, it's iconic π) So: 0 = slayed, everything else = error, handle it π
Lowkey important: don't just ignore the return value, fr fr. Zero means success, anything else means something went sideways π
