STRUCT I915_DEPS(9)

✨ struct i915_deps(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally all about struct i915_deps — the little glow-up container that scoops up a whole bunch of dependencies and bundles them into a single dma-fence. it's giving "group project but everyone actually shows up" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct i915_deps — Collect dependencies into a single dma-fence 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct i915_deps {
    struct dma_fence *single;
    struct dma_fence **fences;
    unsigned int num_deps;
    unsigned int fences_size;
    gfp_t gfp;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct right there ⭐

🎀 Members 🎀

• single — the storage spot for the pointer when your collection is literally just one single fence. main character energy, no entourage needed 💖
• fences — the allocated array of fence pointers, used when you've got more than a single fence. but plot twist 👑 — if it's not more than one, this points to the address of single instead. iykyk
• num_deps — the current number of dependency fences. like a headcount but for fences 🧚
• fences_size — the size of the fences array, measured in number of pointers. yes, pointers, not bytes, don't come for me 🙈
• gfp — the allocation mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

fr fr that's everything, every field accounted for, nothing skipped 💀✨
