π vangogh_set_...ff_residency(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes, that's the manual name, and yes, we're doing this. this is the page for vangogh_set_gfxoff_residency, and it's gonna be quick but it's gonna be cute. π
β¨ NAME β¨
vangogh_set_gfxoff_residency β and honestly? that's the whole name. the original page leaves the description blank, so we're not gonna invent one. no cap, we're keeping it exactly that mysterious. π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
u32 vangogh_set_gfxoff_residency (struct smu_context *smu , bool start );
that's the whole signature, character for character, don't @ me. π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
smuβ amdgpu_device pointer. yeah, it says "amdgpu_device pointer" even though the type isstruct smu_context *β that's what the page says, so that's what you get. πstartβ start/stop residency log. it's abool, so like... pick one. two options. you got this. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so the whole vibe here: this function will be used to log gfxoff residency. that's it. that's the function. it logs residency, it's giving "quiet little helper", it's lowkey main character energy for a very specific debug moment. π
and hey β it returns standard response codes. the page doesn't say which ones, so I'm not gonna make them up. when you see a return value, just know it's one of the standard ones. slay. β¨
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
the kernel file lives here, in all its glory:
./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu/smu11/vangogh_ppt.c
and these three besties are absolutely worth a look: π«Ά
like, get the status, get the residency, get the entrycount. the whole gfxoff friend group. πΈ
ok one tiny PSA: this page as written gives you the vibes but not much else β if you're actually poking at gfxoff residency at runtime, go read the source file above instead of trusting vibes alone. π§
and that's a wrap, bb! this page comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/swsmu... and it's dated October 2026 β vangogh_set_...ff_residency(9), still as mysterious as ever. love that for us. πβ¨π
