👑 radeon_check_arguments(9) — the vibe check for your module params

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about radeon_check_arguments. it's the little function that looks at the module params you passed in and goes "mm hm, mm hm, yeah that's valid" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_check_arguments — validate module params 🎀

like, it literally checks the arguments. that's the whole job. iconic honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void radeon_check_arguments (struct radeon_device *rdev );

returns nothing (void, no cap) and takes exactly one thing. that's it. that's the whole signature bestie 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer. it's the radeon device, it's a pointer, that's the whole deal ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this function validates certain module parameters and then updates the associated values used by the driver. that's the assignment and it understood it. 🎯

and the "certain module parameters" thing? it applies to all asics. every single one. no exceptions, no favorites, fr fr. 💀

lowkey important: it doesn't just read the params, it updates the associated values the driver uses. so it's doing real work, not just vibing. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_device.c — that's where the real ones hang out 🧚

and now the full friend group, in the exact order the manpage lists them because we do not skip anybody in this house:

that's 38 whole functions, all of them linked, all of them slaying in their own lane 🌈

mwah 💋 that's the page. go forth and validate your module params, bestie.

this came out of the kernel API manual at ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon, dated October 2026 — so like, from the future?? we love a forward-thinking doc 🕰️✨ anyway ily, bye 🎀
