vmw_cmd_begin_query(9)

✨ vmw_cmd_begin_query(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is the little validation bestie for the SVGA_3D_CMD_BEGIN_QUERY command, and it is literally here to validate it. no cap, that’s the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_cmd_begin_query — validate SVGA_3D_CMD_BEGIN_QUERY command.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the exact signature, spaces and all — do not “clean it up”, it’s canon:

int vmw_cmd_begin_query (struct vmw_private *dev_priv , struct
vmw_sw_context *sw_context , SVGA3dCmdHeader *header );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

three little besties walk into the function:

• dev_priv — Pointer to a device private struct. yes, that’s the whole note 💖
• sw_context — The software context used for this command submission. the software context era
• header — Pointer to the command header in the command stream. the header bestie
