✨ radeon_fence_driver_init(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual 💅 this one's from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called radeon_fence_driver_init — say that five times fast, i dare you 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

radeon_fence_driver_init — no cap, this is the one that inits the fence driver for all the possible rings ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void radeon_fence_driver_init (struct radeon_device *rdev );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, zero drama 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — the radeon device pointer, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what it does: it inits the fence driver for every possible ring, across all the asics. periodt. 💀

but here's the tea ☕ — not every asic has every ring. like, they're not all built the same, and that's fine, we love diversity 🌈. so instead of forcing rings that don't exist, each asic only starts the fence driver on the rings it actually has, using radeon_fence_driver_start_ring. iykyk ✨

fr fr, that's the whole description — short, sweet, and straight to the point, just like a good text back 💌

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay this list is long bestie, buckle up, we're going through the whole friend group 🧚:
