ENUM XE_WEDGED_MODE(9)

💅 enum xe_wedged_mode(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally all about enum xe_wedged_mode — the official list of "how dramatic should this GPU be about declaring itself dead" modes. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

enum xe_wedged_mode — the possible wedged modes, periodt 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum xe_wedged_mode {
    XE_WEDGED_MODE_NEVER ,
    XE_WEDGED_MODE_UPON_CRITICAL_ERROR ,
    XE_WEDGED_MODE_UPON_ANY_HANG_NO_RESET

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so here are the three moods this enum can be in, and honestly? each one has main character energy in its own way:

• XE_WEDGED_MODE_NEVER — the delulu one 🦋. The device will never be declared wedged. like, ever. it simply refuses to acknowledge that anything is wrong. iconic, honestly.
• XE_WEDGED_MODE_UPON_CRITICAL_ERROR — the reasonable one 💅. The device gets declared wedged only when a critical error occurs, like a GT reset failure or a firmware failure. and listen — this is the default mode, so if you didn't pick anything, this is what you got. she's the main character for a reason 👑
• XE_WEDGED_MODE_UPON_ANY_HANG_NO_RESET — the dramatic one 😭. The device will be declared wedged on any hang. and here's the tea: in this mode, engine resets are disabled so there's no automatic recovery attempts happening behind your back. this mode is primarily intended for debugging hangs, so like... it's a diagnostic queen, not a daily driver. don't @ me. 🔥

ngl bestie, that last one means if you flip it on, nothing's gonna quietly rescue you — that's the whole point, it's for chasing down hangs. just know what you're signing up for 🙈
