gmc_v7_0_gart_disable(9)
π gmc_v7_0_gart_disable(9) β the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition π
okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API manual (section 9, obviously), and you've stumbled onto gmc_v7_0_gart_disable. don't worry, i got you. this is literally the whole page, just... with β¨vibesβ¨.
πΈ NAME πΈ
gmc_v7_0_gart_disable β gart disable. that's it. that's the name. short, sweet, ate and left no crumbs π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void gmc_v7_0_gart_disable (struct amdgpu_device *adev );
so it returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back β no return value, no little treat, no "good job" β and it takes exactly one thing: a struct amdgpu_device * named adev. that's the whole signature. iconic minimalism tbh.
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
adevβ anamdgpu_devicepointer. yes bestie, a pointer, so it's pointing at your device struct. that's the one and only thing you hand over here π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
so what does it actually do?? it disables all VM page table (CIK). like, all of them. the whole VM page table situation for CIK? turned off. that's the assignment, and it understood it πβ¨
no cap, that's genuinely the entire description on this page β this function is a one-liner king and honestly? respect π
π SEE ALSO π
if you're the kind of person who reads the whole series (and you should, main character energy), here's the reading list π:
- Kernel file
./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gmc_v7_0.cβ that's the source file this bad boy lives in, go say hi gmc_v7_0_init_microcode(9)gmc_v7_0_mc_load_microcode(9)gmc_v7_0_mc_program(9)gmc_v7_0_mc_init(9)gmc_v7_0_flush_gpu_tlb_pasid(9)gmc_v7_0_flush_gpu_tlb(9)gmc_v7_0_set_fault_enable_default(9)gmc_v7_0_set_prt(9)gmc_v7_0_gart_enable(9)gmc_v7_0_vm_decode_fault(9)
note the last one up there β gmc_v7_0_gart_enable(9) is literally this function's opposite twin, so if you ever need to turn the thing back on, you know exactly where to go π
ngl bestie, this page is short and sweet β nothing dangerous hiding in here, just a clean little "turn the VM page table off" moment. read the SEE ALSO list anyway, iykyk π
and that's the whole vibe check, bestie! π this gem comes from the kernel source path ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and yeah β it's still filed under gmc_v7_0_gart_disable(9) in the Kernel API Manual. periodt. ππ
