💅 xe_wa_process_gt_oob(9) — or, "the GT glow-up for out-of-band workarounds"

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one of those tiny-but-load-bearing kernel functions. don't let the short page fool you, bestie, it's doing actual work ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_wa_process_gt_oob — the function that processes the GT OOB workaround table. yes that's "out-of-band", not "out of bed", we're all very proud of you for asking 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void xe_wa_process_gt_oob (struct xe_gt *gt );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void return, one pointer in, no drama, no return value to check, no error to handle. honestly? iconic 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gt — the GT instance you're processing workarounds for. the main character of this whole operation. it's a struct xe_gt *, and this is the thing that gets marked up with whatever workarounds turn out to be active 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? it processes the OOB workaround table for this platform, and it marks in gt the workarounds that are active. that's the whole vibe — walk the table, figure out which ones apply here, stamp the active ones into gt so the rest of the driver knows what's up.

no cap, that's the entire description. it's a short one because the function is a short one. lowkey refreshing honestly 🌈

ngl, this page is short, but that's not me skipping anything — there genuinely is no BUGS section, no RETURN VALUE section, no EXIT STATUS, no environment variables, no files list beyond that one SEE ALSO path. what you see is what you get, and what you get is accurate 💖

okay that's the page!! 🍓 this gem is from the Kernel API Manual, lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, and the version/date stamped on it is October 2026 — so if you're reading this in a terminal in the future, hi, hope your workarounds are all processed and your gt is fully marked up 💜⭐💀
