okay so real talk, this one's a tiny lil function page but it's lowkey important, so let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cik_sdma_gfx_stop — literally just stop the gfx async dma engines. that's the whole vibe. it stops them. periodt 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void cik_sdma_gfx_stop (struct radeon_device *rdev );

no return value, no drama. it's a void function, it does its thing and dips 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer. that's it, that's the whole argument list. she's low maintenance ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it stops the gfx async dma ring buffers for CIK. that's the tea ☕ (CIK = that specific hardware generation, iykyk). no cap, that's the entire description — the manpage keeps it short and iconic 👑

bestie, the friend group is LARGE, so buckle up. all of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik_sdma.c:

like, an entire ensemble cast. main character energy all around 👑

💀 friendly reminder: this page lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon — that's the radeon DRM driver's turf, so go check the source file if you want the actual implementation lore 🔥

and that's the page, bestie!! 🎀 this cutie dropped in October 2026, she's filed under ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon, and she's proudly part of the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — cik_sdma_gfx_stop(9) for life 💜✨🦋
