🌸 NAME 🌸

like, literally, it sets up the fence driver. for a ring. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int amdgpu_fence_driver_init_ring (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

she takes exactly one thing and returns an int, no notes. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — the ring you wanna init the fence driver on. that's it. that's the argument. give her a ring and she'll do her thing 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she actually does: she inits the fence driver for the requested ring — and yes, that's all asics, no exceptions, everybody's invited to this party 🎉

also, important lore drop: she's a helper function for amdgpu_fence_driver_sw_init. so she's not out here doing her own thing, she's the supportive bestie in the background making the bigger function look good. main character energy by proxy, honestly 👑
