vmw_cmd_cid_check(9)

💖 vmw_cmd_cid_check 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this little cutie is vmw_cmd_cid_check(9), and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, and she does exactly one thing. main character energy fr.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_cmd_cid_check — checks a command header for valid context information 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• dev_priv — a pointer to a device private structure. yes it's literally called that. iconic.
• sw_context — a pointer to the software context. 🫶
• header — a command header with an embedded user-space context handle. the whole point of the function, ngl 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

convenience function alert!! 🚨 what she does is: call vmw_cmd_res_check with the user-space context handle embedded in header. that's it. that's the whole vibe. lowkey obsessed with how simple that is 😭
