STRUCT VMW_CMDBUF_RES(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the struct vmw_cmdbuf_res(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — no cap, this little struct is giving command buffer managed resource entry energy and we’re gonna read it together 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

struct vmw_cmdbuf_res — Command buffer managed resource entry. Periodt. That’s the whole name and the whole vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here’s the struct, bestie — literally every field, no skipping:

       struct vmw_cmdbuf_res {
           struct vmw_resource *res;
           struct vmwgfx_hash_item hash;
           struct list_head head;
           enum vmw_cmdbuf_res_state state;
           struct vmw_cmdbuf_res_manager *man;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

Every member gets its moment, because we do not ignore fields in this house 💖

• res — Refcounted pointer to a struct vmw_resource. Obsessed with this refcounted pointer, honestly 🫶
• hash — Hash entry for the manager hash table. The way that hash table stays organized is lowkey iconic ✨
• head — List head used either by the staging list or the manager list of committed resources. Literally doing list-head duties on both sides, iykyk 🦋
• state — Staging state of this resource entry.</staging state? no wait —> Staging state of this resource entry. It’s the vibe check for staging, no cap 💅
• man — Pointer to a resource manager for this entry. Main character pointer energy, fr fr 🫶
