✨ sdma_v5_0_gfx_stop(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one little function: sdma_v5_0_gfx_stop. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdma_v5_0_gfx_stop — stop the gfx async dma engines 🛑

like, it puts the graphics async DMA engines to bed. that's the tweet.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v5_0_gfx_stop (struct amdgpu_device *adev , uint32_t inst_mask
);

she returns void, meaning she gives you nothing back and that's on purpose — no cap, no return value, just vibes and a job done. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. yes bestie, it's a pointer, it's the device, it's giving main character energy. 🫶
  • inst_mask — mask of dma engine instances to be disabled. Stop the gfx async dma ring buffers (NAVI10). so basically you hand it a mask and it's like "okay these instances? done. gone. not me leaving them running." 😭✨
heads up: the description text ("Stop the gfx async dma ring buffers (NAVI10).") is tacked onto the inst_mask entry in the original page — so that's exactly where it lives here too. keeping it faithful, periodt. 💖
