drm_sched_fini(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 drm_sched_fini(9) — your fave scheduler teardown era 💅

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for drm_sched_fini(9), and bestie, it is literally the Destroy a gpu scheduler function. No cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

drm_sched_fini — Destroy a gpu scheduler 💥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void drm_sched_fini (struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sched — scheduler instance 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Okay so drm_sched_fini tears down and cleans up the scheduler. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

It stops submission of new jobs to the hardware through struct drm_sched_backend_ops.run_job. Literally no new jobs sliding into the hardware queue. ✋✨

If struct drm_sched_backend_ops.cancel_job is implemented, all jobs will be canceled through it and afterwards cleaned up through struct drm_sched_backend_ops.free_job. Orderly-ish? Iconic. 💖

⚠️ real talk: if cancel_job is not implemented, memory could leak. 😭 That's not a slay, bestie — that's a leak. Keep it in mind.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/sched_main.c is the main character here, and the whole linked crew is:

That's the whole page, bestie — from ./drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler, dated October 2026, all about drm_sched_fini(9). 💖✨
