💅 dma_fence_unlock_irqrestore(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today we're doing dma_fence_unlock_irqrestore, and honestly? she's a short one, but she's important. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dma_fence_unlock_irqrestore — unlock the fence and irqrestore 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dma_fence_unlock_irqrestore (fence , flags );

like, that's it. that's the whole call. no cap. 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fence — the fence to unlock 🔓 this is the main character of the operation, the one you're setting free
• flags — the CPU flags to restore ⭐ the saved-state bestie that comes back home

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Unlock the fence, allowing it to change its state to signaled again ✨

that's the entire vibe: you hold the lock, you do your little thing, and then you let go so the fence can go back to doing fence stuff — including flipping over to signaled. it's giving "release and let live" 💅
