✨ xe_sched_job_destroy(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today 💅 and this one's a lil cleanup crew situation, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_sched_job_destroy — destroy an Xe schedule job 🧹✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void xe_sched_job_destroy (struct kref *ref );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ref — a reference to the Xe schedule job. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so literally, this gets called when ref == 0, right? and here's the checklist she runs thru, in order, main character energy only 👑

1. drop a reference to the job's xe_engine + fence 🍓
2. cleanup the base DRM schedule job 🧚
3. free the memory for the Xe schedule job 💀✨

like, she's the last one out, turning off the lights, closing the group chat. iconic behavior fr fr.

ngl this is the destroy path — she only shows up once the refcount has fully hit 0, so don't go calling her early bestie 😭
