ENUM DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY(9)

💅 enum drm_asahi_priority (Kernel API Manual) 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page about enum drm_asahi_priority — Scheduling queue priority. yes, we're doing kernel scheduling vibes today, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. it lives in the Kernel API Manual, so you already know it's fancy. 🌈

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum drm_asahi_priority {
    DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_LOW ,
    DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_MEDIUM ,
    DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_HIGH ,
    DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_REALTIME

};

---

🌸 Constants 🌸

like, these are the actual squad members. each one is a different priority level, and no cap, picking one is a whole personality choice:

• DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_LOW — the low priority queue. it's the "no rush bestie, take your time" energy. 🦋
• DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_MEDIUM — the medium priority queue. the perfectly balanced, middle-of-the-road icon that it is. 💜
• DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_HIGH — the high priority queue. she's important, she's busy, she needs it now. 🔥
• Reserved for future extension. — literally just sitting there, saving a spot for future lore. 🙈
• DRM_ASAHI_PRIORITY_REALTIME — the real-time priority queue. the most dramatic of them all, and she knows it. 👑
• Reserved for future extension. — again bestie, another reserved slot, we love a placeholder. ✨

💖 Description 💖

so the way this works: these priorities get forwarded to the firmware to influence firmware scheduling. that's the whole assignment. 🫶

the exact policy is ultimately decided by firmware — like, the firmware is the one holding the aux cord here, not you — but these enums allow userspace to communicate the intentions. so you're saying "hey, this one's urgent" and the firmware goes "noted, we'll see," which is lowkey how everything works tbh. 😭
