v3d_job_reference_bos(9)

okay bestie, welcome to v3d_job_reference_bos(9) — it’s from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “share the BOs, don’t redo the lookup” energy 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

v3d_job_reference_bos — share another job’s BOs with @dst 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int v3d_job_reference_bos (struct v3d_job *dst , struct v3d_job *src );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dst — the job that acquires references to the BOs 👑
• src — the job whose already-resolved BO list is shared 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: a submission has multiple jobs that use the same BOs. The trailing job should not look the handles up again — not the vibe, because it could cause inconsistencies 😭. Instead, it should reference the previous job’s BOs. slay, periodt.
