STRUCT VMW_KMS_SOU_SURFACE_DIRTY(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct vmw_kms_sou_surface_dirty — yes, the whole mouthful 💅. This is the closure structure for the blit surface to screen command. It’s giving “supporting struct that still ate,” and we’re gonna go through every single member, no cap ✨.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the struct literally looks like this:

       struct vmw_kms_sou_surface_dirty {
           struct vmw_kms_dirty base;
           s32 left, right, top, bottom;
           s32 dst_x, dst_y;
           u32 sid;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• base — the base type we derive from, and it’s used by vmw_kms_helper_dirty. main character inheritance moment, honestly 💖
• left — left side of the bounding box. bounding box: left edition, slay.
• right — right side of the bounding box. yes bestie, she’s the right one 🫶
• top — top side of the bounding box. top-tier literally.
• bottom — bottom side of the bounding box. holding it down, iconic.
• dst_x — difference between source clip rects and framebuffer coordinates. that’s the whole vibe of this field, no extras 💅
• dst_y — difference between source clip rects and framebuffer coordinates. same energy, y-axis bestie.
• sid — surface id of surface to copy from. the source surface said “copy me” and this field said “say less” 💫

mwah 💋 okay that’s the page! it comes from the Kernel API Manual, with source/version info ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026, and the title is literally struct vmw_k...urface_dirty(9). bye bestie, go be iconic with your kernel structs 🫶✨
