✨ cik_sdma_gfx_resume(9) ✨

okay so real talk, bestie — this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about cik_sdma_gfx_resume, which is lowkey the "wake up babe, we're going DMA-ing" function. 😤✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cik_sdma_gfx_resume — setup and start the async dma engines</p> 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int cik_sdma_gfx_resume (struct radeon_device *rdev );

like, that's the whole vibe. one arg, one int back. no cap. 🎀

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer. it's giving "the whole GPU situation in one struct" energy, and she's the main character here fr fr. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she actually does: she sets up the gfx DMA ring buffers and enables them (this is the CIK flavor, iykyk). 🌀

returns 0 for success, and an error for failure. that's it, that's the deal. simple, iconic, no notes. 💖

ngl bestie, don't sleep on the return value — 0 means slay, anything else means the vibes are off and something failed. 😭
