🎀 pvr_queue_fence_alloc(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one tiny but iconic allocation function: pvr_queue_fence_alloc(9) 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

pvr_queue_fence_alloc — allocate a pvr_queue_fence fence object 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct dma_fence * pvr_queue_fence_alloc (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • void — no arguments, bestie. literally none 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Call this function to allocate job CCCB and done fences. That's the whole assignment, no cap 👑

This only allocates the objects. The glow-up into a fully initialized thing happens later — specifically, initialization happens when the underlying dma_fence object is to be returned to drm_sched (in prepare_job or run_job). so yeah, allocation now, init later, main character scheduling behavior 🧚✨

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • 🟢 A valid pointer if the allocation succeeds, or
  • 🚫 NULL if the allocation fails.
