vmw_binding_dirtying(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is vmw_binding_dirtying(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it does exactly one iconic little job: return whether a binding type is dirtying its resource. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 vmw_binding_dirtying (enum vmw_ctx_binding_type binding_type );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• binding_type — The binding type. That's the whole argument, bestie. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: each time a resource is put on the validation list as the result of a context binding referencing it, we need to determine whether that resource will be dirtied — meaning written to by the GPU — as a result of the corresponding GPU operation. No cap, that's the whole check. 😭

Currently, these binding types are capable of dirtying its resource:

• rendertarget- bindings
• depth-stencil- bindings
• stream-output-target bindings
• unordered access view bindings

That's the list as it stands, and vmw_binding_dirtying is the function you hit up when you need to know whether a given binding_type is one of the dirtying ones. Periodt. 💖

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns whether the binding type dirties the resource its binding points to. Simple, useful, slay. ✨

Cute little footer sign-off, because we don't copy footer lines around here: this page's source/version path is ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, and the date on it is October 2026. Obsessed. 🎀✨💖
