vmw_bo_prio_add(9)

💅 vmw_bo_prio_add(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in vmw_bo_prio_add(9) from the Kernel API Manual and you just need someone to tell you what it does without the whole boring-manpage vibe. that's me, i got you ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_bo_prio_add — bestie, this one notifies a buffer object that a resource eviction priority just got attached to it. like a little heads-up text, but for kernel objects 💌

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_bo_prio_add (struct vmw_bo *vbo , int prio );

literally that's it. void, two args, no drama 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vbo — the struct vmw_bo in question 👑 this is the main character here
• prio — the resource priority 🍓 that's the number you're handing over

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so after it gets notified (yes, the whole point of this function, the notifying), the code assigns the highest resource eviction priority to the backing buffer object — the mob 💀 that's the whole arc, that's the plot. it's giving "one job and it does it" energy and honestly? iconic.

no cap, that's the entire description. short and slay.
