✨ drm_vma_node_is_allowed(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — today's main character is drm_vma_node_is_allowed, and honestly? she's a little vibe check for permissions. let's get into it 💅

💖 NAME 💖

drm_vma_node_is_allowed — check whether an open-file is granted access 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool drm_vma_node_is_allowed (struct drm_vma_offset_node *node , struct
       drm_file *tag );

bestie it's literally just one function call, no cap. returns a bool, takes two things, and we're gonna talk about both of them right now 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • node — the node to check 🌈 like, this is the one we're snooping on
  • tag — tag of file to remove 🙈 (yes, that's what it says — we're passing it in to be looked up)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so the way this works: it searches the list in node to see whether tag is currently on the list of allowed open-files (peep drm_vma_node_allow) 👑

and before u get any ideas about race conditions — don't. this is locked against concurrent access internally. she handles that herself, she's very much giving main character energy 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns true if filp is on the list 💀 yep, filp — that's the word the page uses, so that's the word we're keeping. don't come for me.
