i915_active_fence_isset(9)

💅 i915_active_fence_isset(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about one tiny bool function, but we're gonna give it the main character energy it deserves 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i915_active_fence_isset — report whether the active tracker is assigned 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool i915_active_fence_isset (const struct i915_active_fence *active );

bestie, it returns a bool, it takes one const struct i915_active_fence *, that's the whole vibe ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• active — the active tracker 💫 (yes that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so i915_active_fence_isset returns true if the active tracker is currently assigned to a fence 🔥 like, is she taken? is she linked up? that's what we're asking.

⚠️ but here's the tea: due to the lazy retiring, that fence may be idle and this may report stale information 😭 so ngl, don't treat a true as gospel — the tracker's slow to let go, and you might be reading yesterday's relationship status. not me getting old info 💀
