vmw_fence_obj_lookup(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_fence_obj_lookup — look up a user-space fence object. This page is lowkey part of the Kernel API Manual, and yes bestie, we're getting into it. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so the signature is giving exactly this:

struct ttm_base_object * vmw_fence_obj_lookup (struct ttm_object_file
*tfile , u32 handle );

💬 ARGUMENTS 💬

• tfile — a struct ttm_object_file identifying the caller. Like, who's asking? This tells you. 🫶
• handle — a handle identifying the fence object. It's the lil name tag for the fence object you're looking up. ✨

🔁 RETURN 🔁

Success hands you a struct vmw_user_fence base ttm object; failure hands you an error pointer. That's the whole return vibe, no cap. 💖

📝 DESCRIPTION 📝

The fence object is looked up and type-checked. The caller needs to have opened the fence object first — but since that happens on creation and fence objects aren't shareable, that's not an issue currently. Periodt. 🦋
