💅 vmw_binding_state_kill — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so first of all, bestie, we are in the Kernel API Manual, page vmw_binding_state_kill(9), and this one is short but it does things. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_binding_state_kill — kills every single binding attached to a struct vmw_ctx_binding state structure, and then re-initializes that structure. like, full reset, fresh start, main character energy 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_binding_state_kill (struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cbs );

that's it. that's the whole call. no return value, it just goes. 💅

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

  • cbs — the pointer to the context binding state tracker. that's your girl, that's who we're scrubbing 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what actually happens: it emits commands that scrub all the bindings associated with the context binding state tracker. every last one. not a vibe left behind 😭

and then — the way that it just moves on — it re-initializes the whole structure. clean slate, brand new, iconic. ✨
