idβ the fence context ID, and no she did NOT come up with it herself, it's allocated withdma_fence_context_allocπ«Άseqnoβ the sequence number, and the way it increments every single time a fence is created?? lowkey iconic, it's literally counting its own lore π₯lockβ the lock that synchronizes access to the fences allocated by this context. she's the bouncer at the club, nobody touches the fences without going through her π
