πŸ’… pvr_queue_get_job_kccb_fence β€” Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the pvr_queue_get_job_kccb_fence(9) page β€” this is a Kernel API Manual entry and it's honestly so much easier than the name makes it look, i promise 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

pvr_queue_get_job_kccb_fence β€” get the KCCB fence that's attached to a job. that's it. that's the whole vibe πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct dma_fence * pvr_queue_get_job_kccb_fence (struct pvr_queue *queue
, struct pvr_job *job );

like, you hand it a queue and a job, and it hands you back a struct dma_fence *. slay πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • queue β€” the queue this job is gonna be submitted to. that's the one, bestie πŸ‘‘
  • job β€” the job we're getting the KCCB fence on. main character energy fr fr ✨

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so the KCCB fence is a synchronization primitive β€” iconic behaviour honestly β€” and its whole thing is letting us delay job submission until there's enough space in the KCCB to actually submit the job 🌈

the way that works: if the KCCB is full, we don't just barge in, we wait our turn like a polite little fairy 🧚 it's giving patience, it's giving synchronization, it's giving no cap πŸ’œ


⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • NULL β€” if there's enough space in the KCCB to submit this job πŸ“ (you're good, go ahead)
  • a valid dma_fence object β€” otherwise 😭 (wait your turn bestie)
