STRUCT DRM_VMW_SYNCCPU_ARG(9)

💅 struct drm_vmw_synccpu_arg(9)

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel has lore too, and this is your girl explaining it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct drm_vmw_synccpu_arg — literally the struct you hand over when you wanna talk about synccpu stuff. that's the whole name bestie, the original page just leaves it at that 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole thing, character for character, no notes:

struct drm_vmw_synccpu_arg {
    enum drm_vmw_synccpu_op op;
    enum drm_vmw_synccpu_flags flags;
    __u32 handle;
    __u32 pad64;
 };

like, that's it. that's the struct. four whole fields and a dream 🦋

---

👑 Members 👑

• op — the synccpu operation, as described above. yes, the manpage literally says "as described above" — girl, i know 😭 it's giving "refer to previous slide". check the enum and you'll be fine fr fr.
• flags — the flags, also "as described above". same energy 💀 these two are just pointing you at the docs that came before, no cap.
• handle — the handle identifying the buffer object. that's your lil name-tag for the buffer object you're working with 🫶

quick vibe check: pad64 shows up in the struct but it doesn't get its own Members entry on this page — treat it as the padding field it's named like 💅
