vmw_binding_emit_dirty(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Hii bestie! Welcome to vmw_binding_emit_dirty(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the (9) is giving kernel-section energy, and this page is all about issuing delayed binding commands. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vmw_binding_emit_dirty (struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cbs );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cbs — Pointer to the context's struct vmw_ctx_binding_state. That's the state object you're handing over, bestie. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: this function issues the delayed binding commands that arise from previous scrub / unscrub calls. 🫶

These binding commands are typically commands that batch a number of bindings, so it makes sense to delay them. The way that works is literally the whole point — you batch them up, then this function issues them. No cap. 🔥
