π vcn_v2_0_hw_fini(9) β or, how to say bye to the hardware block
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's a little kernel-side baddie called vcn_v2_0_hw_fini and honestly? it's giving "last one to leave the party turns off the lights" π
πΈ NAME
vcn_v2_0_hw_fini β stop the hardware block π
β¨ SYNOPSIS
int vcn_v2_0_hw_fini (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );
that's the whole vibe fr fr π
π¦ ARGUMENTS
ip_blockβ a pointer to theamdgpu_ip_blockfor this hw instance, no cap π«Ά like, this specific one, not somebody else's block, iykyk
π DESCRIPTION
So basically π this function stops the VCN block, and then it marks the ring as not ready any more π that's it, that's the whole glow-up-to-glow-down. it's the cleanup era, the "we're done here" moment, the iconic little finale π₯

lowkey a whole squad, and they all live under ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu β you already knew that though π
and that's the wrap bestie!! π§ this page came straight from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and you're reading vcn_v2_0_hw_fini(9) β slay, go stop that hardware block πβ¨π
