💅 radeon_sync_free(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, you're in the section 9 part of the manual (that's the kernel API corner of the world, iykyk), and today's main character is radeon_sync_free. say hi 👋

✨ NAME ✨

radeon_sync_free — free the sync object. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it frees the thing 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void radeon_sync_free (struct radeon_device *rdev , struct radeon_sync
*sync , struct radeon_fence *fence );

look at those three params holding hands. no return value, it's giving void and unbothered 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer. your device handle, the whole reason we're here ✨
  • sync — the sync object to use. this is the one getting freed, so be normal about it 🙈
  • fence — the fence to use for the free. yeah, it's along for the ride 🔥

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? it frees the sync object by freeing all semaphores in it. that's the tea, that's the assignment, she ate and left no crumbs 👑

like — every semaphore inside that sync object? gone. freed. periodt. 💅

ngl, this is a free function, so pls be intentional about when you call it. the manpage is not out here inventing extra rules, it's just telling you: it frees the sync object by freeing all semaphores in it. that's the whole story, bestie 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file herself lives right here — lowkey iconic path:

and the friend group (go read these too, fr fr):

they're literally the whole squad, okay? create, fence, resv, rings, free — a full set 💖
