DRM_TEGRA_S...CPT_RELATIVE(9)

💅 DRM_TEGRA_SUBMIT_CMD_WAIT_SYNCPT_RELATIVE(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the whole manual, and this page is about one (1) very specific little command flag and honestly it's kind of a baddie 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

DRM_TEGRA_SUBMIT_CMD_WAIT_SYNCPT_RELATIVE — wait for a syncpoint, but like… relative 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_TEGRA_SUBMIT_CMD_WAIT_SYNCPT_RELATIVE

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. no args listed, no params, just the name itself being the main character 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this one is a wait command 💀 — it tells your job to pause and wait for a syncpoint to hit a certain value before it keeps going with all the further commands after it.

and here's the cute little twist that makes it "relative" ✨: the threshold it waits for is calculated relative to the start of the job. not some absolute number floating out there in the void, but relative. iykyk 🧚

ngl if you were expecting more lore, that's genuinely all of it — it waits, it's relative, it slays, periodt 💅
