xe_exec_queue_assign_name(9)

💖 xe_exec_queue_assign_name(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the xe_exec_queue_assign_name man page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic — it's the "give your queue a cute lil name" function 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_exec_queue_assign_name — assign a name to an exec queue 🏷️✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void xe_exec_queue_assign_name (struct xe_exec_queue *q , u32 instance
);

lowkey the whole signature is right there, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• q — the exec queue. like, the queue in question, the main character 💖
• instance — the instance number for the engine 🔢 (yes bestie, this one matters, it goes in the name)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? it assigns a human-readable name to the exec queue, based on its engine class and instance number 🌈

the vibes it produces look like "rcs0", "vcs1", "bcs2" — that's literally the examples, i'm not making them up 🫶

so yeah, it's giving "turn a number into a name you can actually read in a log at 3am" 😭👑
