STRUCT VMW_CTX_VALIDATION_INFO(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

struct vmw_ctx_validation_info — ok so bestie, this is the extra validation metadata for contexts struct, and yes it lives in the Kernel API Manual section struct vmw_ctx_validation_info(9) because we are fancy like that 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct vmw_ctx_validation_info {
    struct list_head head;
    struct vmw_resource *ctx;
    struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cur;
    struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *staged;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

  • head — the list head of the context list, literally the little anchor keeping everyone in the group chat 🫶
  • ctx — the context resource itself, the main character 👑
  • cur — the context's persistent binding state, like the vibes it woke up in 🌸
  • staged — the binding state changes of this command buffer, aka the fit it's about to try on ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

All of this lives in the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c, and these are the besties it runs with — not me listing them one by one like a playlist, no cap, every single one is here 🔥

ok that's the whole list, every single one, don't come for me 😭 go read them, they're iconic 🦋

and that's a wrap bestie 🎀 brought to you by ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026 — mwah 💖
