💅 vcn_v3_0_hw_fini(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's all about vcn_v3_0_hw_fini — like, the actual name of the page — and it's genuinely such a little icon. let's get into it 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

vcn_v3_0_hw_fini — say it with me: it stops the hardware block. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vcn_v3_0_hw_fini (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );

she takes one arg and hands you back an int. no cap. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ip_block — a pointer to the amdgpu_ip_block for this hw instance. like, the specific one, not somebody else's. iykyk 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? two things, and honestly she ate:

  • stops the VCN block 🛑
  • marks the ring as not ready any more — like, officially retired, don't-call-me-again energy 😭

that's it, that's the function. lowkey iconic for how much it does with so little 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file in question, bestie:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v3_0.c

and the whole friend group of related calls — all of them, no skips:

ngl there are a lot of them, but that's the entire list — go read them all, they're literally the prequels to this one 🍓

and that's the page!! 💖 this masterpiece lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026 — so go forth, stop that hardware block, and slay 👑✨🌸
