smartshift_dgpu_power(9)

💜 smartshift_dgpu_power 💜

okay bestie, so this one is a kernel API manual page — section 9, the whole Kernel API Manual vibe — and it's literally all about one sysfs knob. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

smartshift_dgpu_power — no cap, that's the whole name, and it's giving main-character sysfs attribute energy 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the amdgpu driver ships a sysfs API that reports the dGPU power shift as a percentage, but only if your platform actually supports smartshift. iykyk.

the values mean this, and I need you to internalize it fr fr:

• 0 — means there is no powershift at all. zero. nada. the dGPU is chilling 🧊
• values between [1-100] — means the power is shifted to the dGPU, and that percentage of boost is measured with respect to the dGPU power limit on the platform. so like, it's relative, not absolute 💅

that's it, that's the whole API. short and iconic 🎀

and that's the page, bestie!! 💖 this little icon lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm in the source tree, and this particular edition is dated October 2026 — so like, future-core of it all 🦋✨ go forth and check your smartshift percentages, mwah 💅
