STRUCT DRM_XE_ENGINE(9)

💅 struct drm_xe_engine — bestie, this is the vibe of a hardware engine ✨

okay so real talk, this is the struct drm_xe_engine page from the Kernel API Manual, and no cap it's a little guy — but he's the little guy that tells you which engine on the GPU we're talking about 🎀

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

struct drm_xe_engine — literally just here to describe a hardware engine 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_xe_engine {
    struct drm_xe_engine_class_instance instance;
    __u64 reserved[3];
 };

---

🌸 Members 🌸

• instance — the struct drm_xe_engine_class_instance itself, the actual main character of this whole file 👑
• reserved — reserved. that's it. that's the whole description. hands off, it's reserved, don't touch it 💀

ngl there's not a ton to warn you about here, it's a small struct. but like. reserved is reserved. do not go poking at it, that's not your moment 🙈

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💜 stay hydrated, read your headers, and remember: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> is not a personality trait 🍓
