drm_syncobj_fence_get(9)

💅 NAME 💅

drm_syncobj_fence_get — bestie, this is the one that gets you a reference to a fence in a sync object ✨

(also hi, you're reading the Kernel API Manual page for it, welcome 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct dma_fence * drm_syncobj_fence_get (struct drm_syncobj *syncobj );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• syncobj — the sync object. that's it, that's the whole argument. the sync object in question 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function acquires an additional reference to the drm_syncobj.fence contained in obj, but only if it's not NULL. like, no fence? no reference. simple as that 💁‍♀️

⚠️ not me warning you: it is illegal to call this without already holding a reference. like, fr fr, don't do it. this is not a vibe check you want to fail 💀

and the good news? No locks required. none. zero. you're free 🦋 slay.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

either the fence of obj, or NULL if there's none. that's the whole return value, no cap 👑
