STRUCT DRM_VMW_FENCE_WAIT_ARG(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct drm_vmw_fence_wait_arg — and the dash after the name has literally no description after it. iconic minimalism, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct drm_vmw_fence_wait_arg {
           __u32 handle;
           __s32 cookie_valid;
           __u64 kernel_cookie;
           __u64 timeout_us;
           __s32 lazy;
           __s32 flags;
           __s32 wait_options;
           __s32 pad64;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• handle — the fence object handle, exactly as returned by the DRM_VMW_EXECBUF ioctl. don't lose it, bestie.
• cookie_valid — must be reset to 0 on first call. on restart, leave it alone. no touching. 🙈
• kernel_cookie — set to 0 on first call. on restart, leave it alone. same energy.
• timeout_us — wait timeout in microseconds. 0 means indefinite timeout. it's giving "wait forever, but make it measured."
• lazy — set to 1 if timing is not critical. it allows more than a kernel tick before returning. lowkey chill mode. 😌
• flags — fence flags to wait on.
• wait_options — options that control the behaviour of the wait ioctl.

tiny note: pad64 is right there in the struct synopsis, but this page's Members list doesn't give it its own description — so I'm not inventing one, periodt. 💅

🌸 Description 🌸

This struct is the input argument to the DRM_VMW_FENCE_WAIT ioctl. that's the whole description, bestie — it's giving "input argument, periodt." 👑

okay that's the whole page — source/version footer says ./include/uapi/drm, date October 2026, and it's still titled struct drm_...nce_wait_arg(9). bye bestie 💅✨
