STRUCT VMW_CTX_BINDINFO_VIEW(9)
π struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo_view(9)
okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a whole vibe: it's the little metadata struct that rides along with view bindings. not the star of the show, but likeβ¦ the main character's best friend who actually knows everything? yeah, that one. π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo_view β view binding metadata. that's it, that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole struct, copied exactly so you can screenshot it and put it on your wall:
struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo_view {
struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo bi;
SVGA3dShaderType shader_slot;
uint32 slot;
};
three fields. no cap, that's all. simple is iconic. β¨
π¦ Members π¦
biβ thestruct vmw_ctx_bindinfowe derive from. it's the parent energy, the foundation, the "we wouldn't be here without you" of this struct. π«Άshader_slotβ device data used to reconstruct the binding command. like, it's literally the device data keeping receipts so the binding command can be rebuilt. πslotβ device data used to reconstruct the binding command. same deal as above, also device data, also here to help rebuild the binding command. yes it's word-for-word the same description, and honestly? consistency ate. π

like genuinely go read them all, they're the squad. π§
lowkey this page came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx and is dated October 2026, which is giving time traveler energy ngl π β anyway, that's the sign-off, mwah ππβ¨
