📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 sdma_v5_2_gfx_resume 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — like, the actual kernel docs, not a vibe — and it's about sdma_v5_2_gfx_resume. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, the kernel does NOT accept nicknames 💀

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v5_2_gfx_resume — setup and start the async dma engines

like, it literally spins the async DMA engines back up and gets them going 🏁 no cap, that's the whole gig.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int sdma_v5_2_gfx_resume (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

it takes one thing and gives you back an int. that's it. that's the whole signature, she's lowkey elegant 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. that's your whole graphics device bestie, the main character of the entire amdgpu world 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what actually happens? it sets up the gfx DMA ring buffers and enables them. that's the tea ☕ — buffers get configured, buffers get turned on, engines go brrr 🔥

and the return value? if it works, you get 0 for success 🎉 and if it doesn't work, you get an error for failure 😭 (yes, "error for failure," the manpage said it first, I'm just delivering it with feeling).

ngl, this one's a "check your return value" situation — 0 means slay, anything else means something went sideways and you should probably actually look at it instead of pretending you didn't see it 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this section is LONG and honestly she ate 💅 — here's the full squad, no gatekeeping:

fr fr, read the whole friend group, they all make sense together 🫶✨

and that's the page!! source is ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under sdma_v5_2_gfx_resume(9) — mwah, go read the kernel docs bestie, ily 💜🧚‍♀️
