✨ i915_oa_stream_disable(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about i915_oa_stream_disable 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

i915_oa_stream_disable — the one that handles I915_PERF_IOCTL_DISABLE for an OA stream 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i915_oa_stream_disable (struct i915_perf_stream *stream );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • stream — an i915 perf stream that was opened for OA metrics 👑 that's literally the whole vibe check here

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what this does, right — it stops the OA unit from periodically writing counter reports into the circular OA buffer. Like, that's it, that's the job, and it ate ✨

It also stops the hrtimer that periodically checks for data in the circular OA buffer, for notifying userspace. Two for one, no cap 🔥

lowkey the cleanest pair of shutdowns you'll ever see — counter reports stop getting written, and the little timer that pokes at the buffer to tell userspace "hey there's stuff here" stops too 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Grab a snack bestie, this list is long — but every single one of these is iconic in its own way 💜

that's the whole page bestie, go read the whole i915 Perf family, they're all main character energy 👑

sign-off time 🧚 — this one lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915 and the version stamp says October 2026, so like… future slay?? 💀✨ periodt.
