💅 amdgpu_vmid_reset(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny little function page and honestly it's giving "short but important" energy. It lives in the kernel docs, and we're gonna go through it together, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_vmid_reset — reset VMID to zero

that's it, that's the whole name section. iconic brevity. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_vmid_reset (struct amdgpu_device *adev , unsigned vmhub ,
       unsigned vmid );

so it returns void, meaning it literally gives nothing back — no return value, no drama, it just does the thing. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adev — the amdgpu device structure. like, the whole device, bestie. it's the main character of this call. 🌟
  • vmhub — the vmhub type. yes, that's exactly as vague as the original is, and we're respecting it. 🫶
  • vmid — the vmid number to use. the actual number you're handing over. 🔢

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this function resets saved GDW, GWS and OA — all three, together, on purpose — and the whole point is to force a switch on the next flush. that's the vibe. nothing more, nothing less. it's a clean slate moment. ✨

no hidden caveats, no warning labels, no "don't do this at home" — just a straight-up reset. periodt. 💀

like, go read those too if you wanna understand the whole picture. iykyk. 🧚

ok that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and it slays. mwah. 💜

and that's a wrap! this lil page came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu and it's dated October 2026 — see you next time, love u, bye! 🍓🫶⭐
