💅 sdma_v7_0_gfx_stop(9) — bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so like, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one (1) little function that shuts stuff down. lowkey iconic of it, honestly 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v7_0_gfx_stop — literally just stops the gfx async dma engines 🛑💫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sdma_v7_0_gfx_stop (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value, it just goes and does the thing 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adev — an amdgpu_device pointer 💖 like, it's the device you're stopping. that's the whole argument. queen behavior, honestly.

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Stop the gfx async dma ring buffers. periodt. 🔥

like no cap, that's the entire description — this function's whole job is making those async dma ring buffers stop doing their little dance. it's giving "cleanup era" 💀✨
