vcn_v5_0_2_suspend(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💤 vcn_v5_0_2_suspend — the "okay bestie, go to sleep" function

So this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-functions girlies 🎀), and the star of the show is vcn_v5_0_2_suspend, which literally just suspends the VCN block. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vcn_v5_0_2_suspend (struct amdgpu_ip_block *ip_block );

It returns an int, bestie. Note it. And yes there's a little space before that closing paren, we are keeping it exactly as written, no cap. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ip_block — a pointer to the amdgpu_ip_block for this hw instance. Like, the specific one, not some random other instance's block. Know whose block you're holding, okay? 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

HW fini and suspend VCN block.

That's the entire formal description and honestly? Iconic brevity. It does the hardware fini thing, and it suspends the VCN block. Both. One function. Main character energy fr fr. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

The kernel file lives right here, go read the source, it's giving transparency:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v5_0_2.c

And here's the whole friend group — every single one of these is referenced, we don't leave anyone out of the group chat 💖:

Like, the full roster. Not one name missing. Slay. 🌈

Real talk though: this is kernel API documentation for the amdgpu driver, so if you're poking at it you're already deep in the graphics stack. Respect. 💜

That's the whole page, bestie — no extra lore, no invented behaviour, just the facts wrapped in a bow 🎀

Sign-off time 🌸: this one comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and the manual calls it vcn_v5_0_2_suspend(9). Go forth and suspend responsibly. 💅✨
