STRUCT DRM_VMW_FENCE_EVENT_ARG(9)

💅 struct drm_vmw_fence_event_arg(9) 💅

okay so this one is from the Kernel API Manual (manual section 9, kernel API, iykyk), and it's literally just the struct page for struct drm_vmw_fence_event_arg — the args you hand over when you want a fence event. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_vmw_fence_event_arg —

...and that's genuinely it, bestie. The NAME line is literally just the struct name with a little dash and nothing after it. No summary, no tagline. She said "my name is enough." main character energy fr fr 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

       struct drm_vmw_fence_event_arg {
           __u64 fence_rep;
           __u64 user_data;
           __u32 handle;
           __u32 flags;
        };

look at her. four fields. clean. no skips. copy it exactly, don't be cute with it 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

• fence_rep — a pointer to the fence_rep structure, cast to __u64 — or 0 if the fence isn't supposed to be referenced by user-space. That's the whole deal: cast-to-__u64 pointer, or a big fat zero. no in-between, no vibes 🌈
• handle — attaches the event to this fence only. one fence, one handle, very exclusive, very "you're the only fence for me" 💖
• flags — a set of flags, as defined above. (the manpage says "as defined above" — so scroll up and go find them, bestie, that's where they live 👀)

and yes, user_data is sitting right there in the SYNOPSIS with no little member blurb of its own on this page. she's mysterious. she contains multitudes. we respect her privacy 🙈

heads up bestie: flags tells you the flags are "as defined above," and the fence_rep field cares very much whether it's a real __u64-cast pointer or a literal 0. get those two right and you're golden 💜

and that's the page!! 🍓 sourced from ./include/uapi/drm, dated October 2026, and yes the footer still says struct drm_v...ce_event_arg(9) because the title got truncated and nobody fixed it. iconic. slay. bye bestie 🧚✨💖
