💅 radeon_fence_note_sync(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about radeon_fence_note_sync — yes that whole mouthful. it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_fence_note_sync — the function that literally just records the sync point. that's it. that's the job. icon behavior honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void radeon_fence_note_sync (struct radeon_fence *fence , int dst_ring );

returns nothing (void), takes two things, does its little note-taking. lowkey the most organized function in the whole driver 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • fence — your radeon fence object. the main character of this whole situation fr.
  • dst_ring — which ring we're checking against. that's the ring you're syncing with, bestie 🌀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it notes the sequence number — the exact point where the fence will be synced with the requested ring. and the "(all asics)" is doing a lot of work there, because it means this happens on every single asic. no exceptions, no "oh that chip is special", none of it. everybody gets the sync point noted 😌✨

it's not computing anything wild, it's not launching anything, it's just... writing it down. like a note in the group chat that everyone's gonna need later. and honestly? that's the whole vibe.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is LONG, so buckle up. it's basically the entire radeon fence cinematic universe 🌈

like i said. full cinematic universe. go read them all, bestie, they're all connected 🧚‍♀️

and that's the page!! 💖 this little cutie lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon and the manual's dated October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendars, the fence lore is timeless. mwah 🎀💜
