STRUCT VMW_SURFACE_MIP(9)

💅 struct vmw_surface_mip — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to struct vmw_surface_mip(9) — the Kernel API Manual page that's literally all about mipmap level information ✨. no cap, that's the whole vibe: one struct, four members, zero drama 🎀.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

here's the whole glow-up, exactly as it ships 👑

       struct vmw_surface_mip {
           size_t bytes;
           size_t img_stride;
           size_t row_stride;
           struct drm_vmw_size size;
        };

💖 Members

bestie, let me introduce you to the cast — four members, each one a main character in their own right 🫶:

• bytes — the bytes required in the backing store of this mipmap level. it's giving "how much room do i need in the closet" energy 🧚.
• img_stride — byte stride per image. yes, per image — that's the rule, iykyk 💅.
• row_stride — byte stride per block row. different stride, different job — don't mix them up or it's over for you 😭.
• size — the size of the mipmap. literally that. it's a struct drm_vmw_size and it holds the size, and honestly? iconic 👑.
