✨ i915_gem_object_wait 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is literally about i915_gem_object_wait, and its whole vibe is waiting for rendering to the object to be completed. no cap, that’s the assignment. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_gem_object_wait — Waits for rendering to the object to be completed. periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here’s the signature, untouched and iconic:

int i915_gem_object_wait (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj , unsigned int
       flags , long timeout );

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• obj — i915 gem object. that’s the main character here, the thing you’re waiting on. 💅
• flags — how to wait (under a lock, for all rendering or just for writes etc). this is the “what kind of waiting are we doing” knob. ✨
• timeout — how long to wait. literally the patience setting. ⏳

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• i915_gem_object_wait_migration(9) — yes, this too. 🧚

okay that’s the whole page! huge shoutout to source/version ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem and the October 2026 date — mwah, bye bestie! 💖✨
