sync_pt_create(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for sync_pt_create(9) — this one creates a sync pt, and honestly? iconic little fence-maker behavior. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sync_pt * sync_pt_create (struct sync_timeline *obj , unsigned
       int value );

yep bestie, that's the whole signature — no cap. 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• obj — parent sync_timeline 🌸
• value — value of the fence 🚧

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: a new sync_pt (fence) is created as a child of parent — main character energy fr fr. size bytes will be allocated allowing for implementation specific data to be kept after the generic sync_timeline struct. Then it returns the sync_pt object or NULL in case of error. periodt. 😭✨

lowkey important: that NULL is the error vibe check, so don't ignore it. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The SEE ALSO situation is giving kernel-file realness: Kernel file ./drivers/dma-buf/sw_sync.c, struct sw_sync_get_deadline(9), sync_timeline_create(9), and sync_timeline_signal(9). iykyk 🧚💜
