cik_cp_compute_fini(9)
π cik_cp_compute_fini β Kernel API Manual, bestie edition π
okay so quick vibe check: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about cik_cp_compute_fini. it's short, it's sweet, it's the cleanup era of the function world. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
cik_cp_compute_fini β stop the compute queues π
like, that's literally it. the compute queues? they're done. fini. periodt. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void cik_cp_compute_fini (struct radeon_device *rdev );
no return value, she just does her thing and dips. π¦
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
rdevβ aradeon_devicepointer π. yes that's the whole description. it's the radeon device, it's a pointer, we love a simple queen.
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so what does she do? two things, and honestly she eats both of them:
- stop the compute queues π
- tear down the driver queue info π§Ή
that's the whole lore. no cap, that's the entire description in the original and i'm not gonna invent drama that isn't there. it's a teardown function, it stops the compute queues and it tears down the driver queue info. clean, iconic, no notes. β¨
ngl this is the kind of function that shows up at the end of the story, not the beginning β it's the "everybody go home" of the compute queue world. π
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
okay so this is the part where the page just. goes off. absolutely feral list of related functions, all (9), all from the kernel API. here's every single one, and yes i'm listing all of them, i would never do you dirty like that π«Ά

and the kernel file you actually wanna peek at:
Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.cπ
likeβ¦ dce8_average_bandwidth_vs_dram_bandwidth_for_display(9)?? that name is a whole paragraph, she's giving main character energy and i'm obsessed ππ₯
and that's the page!! π«Ά this little cutie lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon, it's dated October 2026, and if you ever need to find her again just call her by name: cik_cp_compute_fini(9) πβ¨
