UNION DRM_VMW_GB_SURFACE_REFERENCE_EXT_ARG(9)

💅 union drm_vmw_gb_surface_reference_ext_arg(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the <cyan>Kernel API Manual</cyan> ✨ — yes we're in the kernel docs and yes it's giving serious main-character energy. Today's star? union drm_vmw_gb_surface_reference_ext_arg. Say it with me. It's a mouthful. You're gonna slay it tho 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

union drm_vmw_gb_surface_reference_ext_arg — that's it, that's the name, no cap. It's a union, it's in the vmwgfx DRM headers, and it's literally the argument bag for one specific ioctl. Periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, the whole thing is right here, copied exactly, don't come for me:

union drm_vmw_gb_surface_reference_ext_arg {
    struct drm_vmw_gb_surface_ref_ext_rep rep;
    struct drm_vmw_surface_arg req;
 };

Two members, one union. Very demure, very mindful 🙈

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• rep — the output side, bestie 💖. Output data, exactly as described above at "struct drm_vmw_gb_surface_ref_ext_rep". That's where the answers come back to you.
• req — the input side 🌸. Input data, exactly as described above at "struct drm_vmw_surface_arg". That's what you're sending in.

Same union, two vibes: one going in, one coming out. iykyk 🦋

👑 Description 👑

So what is it? It's the argument to the DRM_VMW_GB_SURFACE_REF Ioctl. That's the whole description, and honestly? She said what she said. Nothing more to add, no extra lore, no secret bonus features — it's the argument struct for that ioctl, full stop 🔥

ngl there are no bugs, warnings or exit statuses listed on this page — it's a tiny little union page and it's living its best life 💀

anyway that's the whole thing, mwah 💋 — this lil page is from <pink>./include/uapi/drm</pink>, dated <lavender>October 2026</lavender>, and it signs off as union drm_vm...ence_ext_arg(9) because even manpage footers get a nickname 🎀 bye bestie, go reference some surfaces 🦋💖
