💅 __xe_res_dma_next — bestie's guide to the cursor glow-up

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about one very specific little moment: your cursor hit the end of a segment and needs to scoot forward. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Iconic, minimal, no notes. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

__xe_res_dma_next — advance the cursor when end-of-segment is reached 🎀

Like literally, when the segment is done-done, this is the function that moves you along. Main character energy for a cursor that needs to keep going.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void __xe_res_dma_next (struct xe_res_cursor *cur );

No return value, no drama — it's void, bestie. It goes in, it does its thing, it doesn't hand anything back. 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cur — The cursor. That's it. That's the argument. The one and only. She's the cursor, she's the whole point, give her a little kiss on the forehead 🫶
