💅 vcn_v2_5_hw_fini — the kernel API manual page, bestie

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is vcn_v2_5_hw_fini. yes she's a function. yes she's iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcn_v2_5_hw_fini — stop the hardware block 🛑

like literally that's the whole job. she stops the hardware block. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vcn_v2_5_hw_fini (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );

that's it. one argument. one int coming back at you. no cap. 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ip_block — Pointer to the amdgpu_ip_block for this hw instance. that's the whole thing she needs, like handing your bestie your iced coffee order and she just gets it 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🔥 — this one stops the VCN block, and marks the ring as not ready any more. that's it. that's the vibe. she's the cleanup queen, the one who turns the lights off and puts the little "closed" sign on the ring 💅

no fancy extras, no secret side quests listed here — stop the block, ring's not ready, done. slay.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file that has all the lore:

  • ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v2_5.c

and the whole friend group (iykyk 👑):

ngl bestie, read the source file before you go poking at hw blocks — it's giving responsible-maintainer energy and honestly it's a look 💀

and that's the page!! 🌸 big thanks to ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu for hosting this whole situation, dated October 2026 — mwah, love that for us 💖🎀🦋
