💅 sdma_v4_0_rlc_stop(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about a function from the Kernel API Manual and it's lowkey iconic 💖

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v4_0_rlc_stop — stop the compute async dma engines 🛑

fr fr that's the whole job. it stops them. the compute async dma engines. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v4_0_rlc_stop (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

it returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back and honestly? respect. it just does the thing and leaves. main character energy 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer 💫 that's it, that's the whole argument list, one (1) pointer, we love a minimal queen

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does it actually do? It stops the compute async dma queues (VEGA10) 💀🔥

That's it. That's the description. Short, sweet, and to the point — like a text that just says "we need to talk" but in a good way. The compute async dma queues get stopped. On VEGA10. No cap. 🫶
