STRUCT XE_GPU_SCHEDULER(9)

💅 struct xe_gpu_scheduler — Xe GPU scheduler 💅

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct xe_gpu_scheduler, aka the Xe GPU scheduler — the main character of GPU scheduling, no cap ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct xe_gpu_scheduler — Xe GPU scheduler 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe, character for character:

struct xe_gpu_scheduler {
    struct drm_gpu_scheduler                base;
    const struct xe_sched_backend_ops       *ops;
    struct list_head                        msgs;
    spinlock_t msg_lock;
    struct work_struct              work_process_msg;
 };

---

💖 Members 💖

okay bestie, let's meet the cast, one member at a time 👑

• base — the DRM GPU scheduler. this is the foundation it sits on, the blueprint, the whole reason it's iconic 💅
• ops — the Xe scheduler ops (const struct xe_sched_backend_ops *). the plug-in-your-own-behaviour slot, iykyk 🔥
• msgs — the list of messages to be processed in work_process_msg. a whole queue of little notes waiting their turn 🎀
• msg_lock — the message lock. keeps everything from getting messy when the messages are moving around 🙈
• work_process_msg — processes messages. that's it, that's the job, and it does it slayfully ✨

• struct xe_sched_backend_ops(9)

ngl, if you're poking at scheduler messages, mind that msg_lock — it's there for a reason, bestie 💀

and that's the whole page, periodt 💜 big sign-off energy: this one's from ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026, and the page itself is struct xe_gpu_scheduler(9) — screenshot it, memorise it, live it 🌈⭐👑
