💖 xe_lrc_free_seqno_fence — bestie's guide to letting that fence go 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for xe_lrc_free_seqno_fence(9), aka the page where we say bye-bye to a fence that hasn't even had its glow-up yet. it's giving "release the un-initialized queen" energy and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xe_lrc_free_seqno_fence — Frees an lrc seqno fence. that's it, that's the whole vibe. literally a lil cleanup era. 🧹💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void xe_lrc_free_seqno_fence (struct dma_fence *fence );

so it returns void (no take-backs, no receipts, it just does the thing) and it takes exactly one arg. slay. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • fence — pointer to the fence you want to free. that's the one. your main character. hand it over and let it rest. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does this even do? it frees an lrc seqno fence that hasn't yet been initialized. that's the whole plot bestie, no cap. 🧚

like, this is the pre-glow-up fence — it never got set up, so there's nothing fancy to tear down, you're just freeing it. lowkey the simplest kind of cleanup and we love that for us. 🌸
