💅 i915_gem_object_wait_moving_fence(9)

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one is all about i915_gem_object_wait_moving_fence, which honestly is the most "wait for the object's moving fence if any" function to ever wait for an object's moving fence if any. Lowkey iconic name. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i915_gem_object_wait_moving_fence — wait for the object's moving fence, if any 🦋

(Yes, "if any." That's the whole vibe check. Not every object is out here having a moving fence, and that's fine.)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i915_gem_object_wait_moving_fence (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj ,
bool intr );

That's the whole signature, no cap. She takes two things and returns an int. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • obj — the object whose moving fence we're waiting for. Like, the actual main character of this operation. The object in question. The one with the fence. 👑
  • intr — whether to wait interruptible. That's it, that's the flag. true if you want the wait to be interruptible, and you already know which one you're picking. 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the tea ☕: if the moving fence signaled without an error, it gets detached from the object and put. Like, removed and released. Clean break, no drama, we love to see it. ✨

That's genuinely the whole description, bestie — short and slay. Don't go looking for extra lore, there isn't any in the original. 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 — successful. Slay. 💅
  • -ERESTARTSYS — the wait was interrupted. 😭 Somebody hit the interrupt, it wasn't me.
  • negative error code — the async operation represented by the moving fence failed. 💀 That's the bad ending, fr fr.

Heads up bestie: this page lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem, dated October 2026, and that's the Kernel API Manual version of the story. Go touch some pages. 💜

Okay bye, drink water, don't forget the intr argument, mwah 🍓💖
