xe_hw_engine...a_fence_jobs(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

xe_hw_engine_group_wait_for_dma_fence_jobs — bestie, this is the one that waits for your dma fence jobs to finish. Like literally sits there until they're done. No cap.

(this whole page lives in the xe_hw_engine...a_fence_jobs(9) section of the Kernel API Manual, mwah 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int xe_hw_engine_group_wait_for_dma_fence_jobs (struct
xe_hw_engine_group *group );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• group — the hw engine group 💖 that's the whole vibe, that's who we're waiting on

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so listen 👀 — this function is not meant to be called directly from a user IOCTL. Like, do not do that. Why? because dma_fence_wait is not interruptible, and that's kind of a whole thing. So it's giving "internal helper only", iykyk. Don't @ me.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success — slay, we ate 💅
• -ETIME if waiting for one job failed — not the vibe, but at least you know 😭
