🎀 radeon_card_posted(9) — the "has this GPU already woken up?" check 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the radeon_card_posted page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_card_posted — check if the hw has already been initialized 💅

like, has somebody already turned this card on or what

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool radeon_card_posted (struct radeon_device *rdev );

it hands you back a bool, and it wants one (1) argument. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer 🫶 that's your lil handle on the radeon device, and it's what this function peeks at.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea ☕ — this function checks whether the asic has been initialized, and yes that's for all asics (every single one, no exceptions, periodt).

It's used at driver startup 🔥 — like the moment the driver shows up and goes "hey, has someone already been here?"

And the return value is literally the whole plot:

  • returns true if it's initialized ✅
  • returns false if it's not ❌

main character energy for a boolean honestly 👑

and the whole friend group 🫶 — every one of these deserves a follow:

ngl that's a lot of friends but they're all iconic 💅

🌈 quick recap for the girlies in the back: pass your radeon_device pointer, get a bool, find out if the asic already got initialized. that's it. slay.
