πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… vi_asic_pci_config_reset β€” like, the whole vibe ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and honestly? this one's a little baddie. it's a kernel function, it resets a GPU, and it's lowkey the softest way to do it. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

vi_asic_pci_config_reset β€” soft reset GPU πŸ’–

like, soft reset. not a dramatic hard reset. she's gentle. she's iconic. she's doing the absolute most with the PCI config method and we stan.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vi_asic_pci_config_reset (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. one arg, returns an int, and yes there's a space before the closing paren in the original and we're keeping it exactly as-is because we don't edit the source, bestie, that's not the vibe πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • adev β€” an amdgpu_device pointer. that's your GPU's whole little passport, fr fr. you hand her over and she gets the soft reset treatment πŸ’–

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so the way this works is: it uses the PCI Config method to reset the GPU. no cap, that's the whole move.

and then it returns 0 for success. that's it. 0 means we ate and left no crumbs. ⭐

ok real talk β€” the manpage is short and the manpage is honest. don't go reading extra behaviour into it that isn't there. it resets via PCI config, returns 0 on success, and that's the entire lore πŸ™ˆ
