💖 vkms_composer_worker(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the readme for vkms_composer_worker(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short but she's important, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vkms_composer_worker — an ordered work_struct whose whole job is computing CRC. yes, that's it, that's the vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vkms_composer_worker (struct work_struct *work );

literally the whole signature, no notes 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• work — a work_struct. that's the entire description. she's a woman of few words and honestly? iconic 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ this is the work handler for composing and computing CRCs. the work_struct gets scheduled on an ordered workqueue, and that workqueue is periodically scheduled to run by vkms_vblank_simulate — and flushed at vkms_atomic_commit_tail. lowkey a whole pipeline, no cap 🔥

like, the way that it's ordered matters, and the way it gets kicked off by vkms_vblank_simulate and flushed at vkms_atomic_commit_tail? that's the lore, that's the whole story, memorise it fr fr 💀
