+Receiving Sync Files from Userspace
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When userspace needs to send an in-fence to the driver it passes file descriptor
|
|
|
+of the Sync File to the kernel. The kernel can then retrieve the fences
|
|
|
+from it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Interface:
|
|
|
+ struct fence *sync_file_get_fence(int fd);
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The returned reference is owned by the caller and must be disposed of
|
|
|
+afterwards using fence_put(). In case of error, a NULL is returned instead.
