✨ xe_hw_engine_group_get_mode ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this is the page for xe_hw_engine_group_get_mode(9), and yes the name is a mouthful, iykyk.

---

💅 NAME

xe_hw_engine_group_get_mode — get the group to execute in the new mode 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int xe_hw_engine_group_get_mode (struct xe_hw_engine_group *group , enum
xe_hw_engine_group_execution_mode new_mode , enum
xe_hw_engine_group_execution_mode *previous_mode , struct xe_sync_entry
*syncs , int num_syncs );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copy it exactly, don't be out here renaming things 🙈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• group — the hw engine group 👑 like, the actual group we're working with
• new_mode — the new execution mode, literally the vibe we're switching to
• previous_mode — pointer to the previous mode, handed over for the caller to use 🫶 (yes it's a pointer, yes it's pointed at you, caller)
• syncs — the syncs from the exec IOCTL ✨
• num_syncs — how many syncs came from the exec IOCTL 🔢

---

⭐ RETURN

0 if it worked — slay 💖 — or -EINTR if the locking failed 😭 (locking said "not today").
