i915_vma_resource_unhold(9)

✨ i915_vma_resource_unhold — the Kernel API Manual tea 🫖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the kernel API manual, and it's literally the "let go" half of a hold/unhold situationship 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_vma_resource_unhold — unhold the signaling of the vma resource unbind fence. that's the whole gig, she's a one-job icon 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i915_vma_resource_unhold (struct i915_vma_resource *vma_res , bool
       lockdep_cookie );

like, no return value, nothing to catch, she just does the thing and dips ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• vma_res — the vma resource. that's the vma resource, the main character of this function 🫶
• lockdep_cookie — the lockdep cookie returned from i915_vma_resource_hold. yes bestie, you gotta bring back the cookie you got from the hold call, that's the whole deal 🍪 — hand it over, no substitutions, no snacking on it.

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the vibe: the function may leave a dma_fence critical section 😭 like, it might literally exit that critical section, so don't be out here assuming you're still cozy inside it after this call. that's the whole description and honestly it ate 💅

ngl, "may leave a dma_fence critical section" is the kind of sentence you read twice — it's not a maybe-cute-maybe-not, it's a real caveat, so respect it 🙈
