drm_sched_get_finished_job(9)

💅 drm_sched_get_finished_job(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel API manual, section drm_sched_get_finished_job(9), and this little function is literally the cleanup crew of the GPU scheduler. main character energy, fr fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

drm_sched_get_finished_job — grab the next finished job so it can get destroyed 👑💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_sched_job * drm_sched_get_finished_job (struct
       drm_gpu_scheduler *sched );

like… it hands you back a struct drm_sched_job *, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sched — the scheduler instance. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this function lets the caller know, through have_more, whether there are more finished jobs hanging around besides the one it just returned. iykyk 💅

it returns the next finished job from the pending list (if there even is one) all ready for its little glow-up into being destroyed. iconic behavior honestly 🌈⭐

lowkey important: the returned job is ready to be destroyed — that's literally its whole purpose, don't skip that part 🙈
