✨ NAME ✨

struct vmw_simple_resource β€” the kernel-only side simple resource πŸ’… (yes that's the actual description, it said what it said)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vmw_simple_resource {
    struct vmw_resource res;
    const struct vmw_simple_resource_func *func;
};

that's the whole vibe, two members, no cap πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • res β€” the resource we derive from. it's giving "I'm built different but I still come from this one" πŸ‘‘ that's the parent resource, periodt.
  • func β€” the method and member virtual table. this is the whole personality of the struct tbh, the function table that holds all the methods and members πŸ”₯

ngl the "simple resource" is living its main character energy in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx β€” that's the directory it calls home 🏑

okay that's the page!! mwah πŸ’‹ β€” this very important documentation moment was brought to you by October 2026 and the fine folks living in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx. go forth and slay, kernel dev πŸ«Άβœ¨πŸ’…
