vcn_v5_0_0_stop(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vcn_v5_0_0_stop — like, the whole kernel API manual situation

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up edition of vcn_v5_0_0_stop(9) from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (iykyk — kernel land only, no userland shenanigans here). Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcn_v5_0_0_stop — VCN stop. that's it, that's the tweet. literally just "VCN stop" 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vcn_v5_0_0_stop (struct amdgpu_vcn_inst *vinst );

so she takes one pointer, returns an int, and is very serious about it. note the tiny space before the closing paren — we don't fix that, we respect it, it's part of her vibe 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vinst — the VCN instance. yes, that's the whole description. she's a struct amdgpu_vcn_inst * and she's the main character of this function call 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Stop VCN block. no cap, that's the entire plot. she stops the thing. periodt 💀

like, genuinely — the manual gives us exactly four words and we are not adding lore that isn't there. no guessing, no extra behaviours, just: stop the VCN block. iconic minimalism, honestly 🌈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie, buckle up, this list is long and every single one of these is required reading. no skipping, I'll know 😭

go read them all, I'll wait 💖

lowkey a reminder that everything above is straight from the manual — I'm just here for the vibes, not to invent new kernel behaviour 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie! this little gem lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and she goes by vcn_v5_0_0_stop(9). mwah, slay, go stop that VCN block 💅🎀🦋
