💅 i915_vma_re...ind_dep_sync(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it's important — it's giving "tiny function, big consequences" energy. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_vma_resource_bind_dep_sync — wait for / sync all unbinds touching a certain vm range. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i915_vma_resource_bind_dep_sync (struct i915_address_space *vm , u64
offset , u64 size , bool intr );

like, look at her. four args. no cap, she's booked and busy 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vm — the vm we're looking at. main character of this whole operation tbh 👑
• offset — where the range starts. the beginning of the story 🫶
• size — how big the range is. how much of the story we're reading 📖
• intr — whether to wait interrubtible (yes, that's how the page spells it, and honestly? iconic 💀). it's a bool, so it's a yes-or-no girlie 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the thing, bestie, and i need you to hear me on this one: the function needs to be called with the vm lock held. 🔒

not optional. not "eh, probably fine." held. vm lock. held. periodt. 🎀

it waits for and syncs up all the unbinds that touch that certain vm range — so everything in the offset + size window gets its moment to finish before you move on. it's literally doing the group-chat "hold on, everyone finish your thought" move 🫶

⚠️ for real though — call it with the vm lock held. don't be the girlie who skips that step 😭

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• Zero on success — slay, we love a clean exit 🎉
• -ERESTARTSYS if it got interrupted and intr==true — aka the wait got cut off mid-sentence 💀
