✨ dma_resv_iter_is_restarted — the vibe check for restarts 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — this one is a tiny little helper from dma_resv_iter_is_restarted(9) and honestly it's giving "small function, big feelings."

🌸 NAME 🌸

dma_resv_iter_is_restarted — literally just tests if this is the first fence after a restart. That's it. That's the whole job. iconic behavior fr fr 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool dma_resv_iter_is_restarted (struct dma_resv_iter *cursor );

yes, it returns a bool, and yes, there's exactly one argument, we love a low-maintenance king 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cursor — the cursor with the current position. that's your little pointer-bestie telling you where we're at in the iteration rn 📍

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Return true if this is the first fence in an iteration after a restart. that's the whole tea ☕ — no cap, no extra lore, no hidden plot twists. it's a yes/no moment and this function is the main character answering it 🌈

lowkey the most useful thing here: it's a test, not a mutation. nothing gets changed, nothing gets touched, you just get a true or a false and you move on with your life 🫶
