π SYNOPSIS π

π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so picture this: there's this special value, right? and you can pass it into drm_asahi_command::vdm_barrier or drm_asahi_command::cdm_barrier, and what it's telling the kernel is literally just β βhey, this subqueue? she does not wait on any previous work.β no queueing behind the older stuff, no looking back, main character energy only π
so if you're the type to set a barrier field and you're like βactually no, I don't want a barrier,β this is the value you reach for. it's giving "I'm free tonight" πβ¨
