β¨ vmw_binding_state_reset(9) β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π this page is all about vmw_binding_state_reset and honestly? it's giving "lil function, big job" energy. let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
vmw_binding_state_reset β clears out a struct vmw_ctx_binding_state π
like, empties the whole thing. no cap.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void vmw_binding_state_reset (struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cbs );
that's it, that's the whole call β¨ returns nothing, takes one pointer, does one thing. minimal. iconic. periodt.
π ARGUMENTS π
cbsβ a pointer to thestruct vmw_ctx_binding_statethat's about to get cleared out π§Ήπ yes, that one. the one you want empty.
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe check: this function drops all the bindings registered in cbs. all of them. gone. π«Ά
and lowkey the most important deet here β no device binding actions are performed. like, it's not going to go talk to the hardware for you, bestie. this is purely a "clear the bookkeeping" situation, not a "make the GPU do stuff" situation. iykyk ππ
