💅 vmw_bo_get_guest_ptr(9) — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the lil kernel corner where we ask a buffer object where it’s currently placed. no cap, that’s the whole vibe 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_bo_get_guest_ptr — get the guest ptr representing the current placement of a buffer. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_bo_get_guest_ptr (const struct ttm_buffer_object *bo ,
       SVGAGuestPtr *ptr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bo — pointer to a struct ttm_buffer_object. It must be pinned or reserved, bestie. no sneaky unpinned/unreserved behavior 🙈
• ptr — an SVGAGuestPtr returning the result. basically the lil output slot where the answer goes 🫶
