XE DEPENDENCY SCHEDULER(9)

Xe Dependency Scheduler 💅✨

okay so bestie, this is the Xe Dependency Scheduler(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we are literally obsessed. the Xe dependency scheduler is a simple wrapper built around the DRM scheduler, and its whole vibe is: execute jobs once their dependencies are resolved (i.e., all input fences specified as dependencies are signaled). periodt 💫

the jobs that are executed contain virtual functions to run (execute) and free the job, allowing a single dependency scheduler to handle jobs performing different operations. it's giving one scheduler, many little tasks, no cap 🎀

example use cases include deferred resource freeing, TLB invalidations after bind jobs, etc. iconic, honestly 🌸
