drm_sched_job_cleanup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 drm_sched_job_cleanup(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a shortie but she's important, so pay attention 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_sched_job_cleanup — clean up scheduler job resources 🧹

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_sched_job_cleanup (struct drm_sched_job *job );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • job — the scheduler job we're cleaning up, bestie. that's the one. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕ — this function cleans up all the resources that were allocated with drm_sched_job_init. Like, all of them. she's a thorough queen 💅

Drivers should call this from their error unwind code if job is aborted before drm_sched_job_arm is called. that's the window, okay? that's your moment. 🪟

Now listen, this part matters — drm_sched_job_arm is a point of no return 🔥🔥🔥 because it initializes the fences and their sequence number etc. Once that function has been called, you *must* submit it with drm_sched_entity_push_job and you literally cannot just abort it by calling drm_sched_job_cleanup. no cap. there's no take-backsies after drm_sched_job_arm, that ship has sailed 😭

⚠️ fr fr: after drm_sched_job_arm, cleanup is NOT an abort button. you commit. you push. periodt. 👑

This function should be called in the drm_sched_backend_ops.free_job callback. that's her home. that's where she lives 🏠✨
