✨ NAME ✨

sdma_v7_1_inst_rlc_stop — stop the compute async dma engines 🛑

like yes that's it, that's the whole job. she stops the compute async dma engines and she does NOT elaborate. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sdma_v7_1_inst_rlc_stop (struct amdgpu_device *adev , uint32_t
inst_mask );

returns nothing (void, she gives nothing back and that's valid 💅), takes two args. love that for her.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer 🖥️ literally the amdgpu device pointer, she needs to know which device we're talking about, iykyk.
  • inst_mask — mask of dma engine instances to be disabled 🎭 a mask, bestie. it says which dma engine instances are getting turned off. not all of them, just the ones you put in the mask. choose wisely 🫶.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the actual lore: stop the compute async dma queues. that's it. that's the tea ☕

no cap, that's the entire description and honestly? iconic. sometimes a function knows exactly what it is and doesn't need to write a whole essay about it. she stops the compute async dma queues, she leaves, she doesn't text back 💀
