[PATCH 9/9] amdkfd: introduce new ioctl AMDKFD_IOC_CREATE_PROCESS

Fri Jul 25 02:43:16 UTC 2025


This commit implemetns a new ioctl AMDKFD_IOC_CREATE_PROCESS
that creates a new secondary kfd_progress on the FD.

To keep backward compatibility, userspace programs need to invoke
this ioctl explicitly on a FD to create a secondary
kfd_process which replacing its primary kfd_process.

This commit bumps ioctl minor version.
