✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sync_file * sync_file_create (struct dma_fence *fence );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so it creates a sync_file containing fence (yes bestie, the original says "containg" — typo era, but we know what she means 😭). When it succeeds, this function acquires an additional reference of fence for the newly-created sync_file. The sync_file can be released with fput(sync_file->file). It returns the sync_file, or NULL in case of error.
