okay so bestie, welcome to the dma_fence_unwrap_merge(9) page ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about taking a whole pile of fences, unwrapping them, and merging them back into one flat vibe. no cap, it's giving "cleanup era" 🧹💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the tea ☕: all the fences you hand over as parameters get unwrapped and then merged back together as a flat dma_fence_array. Slay. 💅

It's lowkey perfect if you've got multiple containers that need to be merged together — that's literally the whole point, iykyk 🫶

It's implemented as a macro so it can allocate the necessary arrays on the stack and account the stack frame size to the caller. yes bestie, stack frame size accounting, we love a responsible icon 💀✨

On memory allocation failure it returns NULL 😭 — otherwise you get a dma_fence object representing all the given fences. main character return value fr fr 👑
