vmw_cmd_dx_s...endertargets(9)

💅 vmw_cmd_dx_s...endertargets(9) — from the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the full name of this page: vmw_cmd_dx_s...endertargets(9) (they really went and truncated it in the header, but we know her full government name now 👑). This is a vmwgfx kernel API page, and no cap, it's a lil baddie with one job — checking that one specific SVGA command isn't a mess before it goes anywhere. Let's get into it. ✨

---

🌸 NAME

vmw_cmd_dx_set_rendertargets — the function whose whole personality is validating the SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_SET_RENDERTARGETS command. That's it. That's the job. She's a vibe check for a command, periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

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

Return type int, three args, all of them pointers, all of them important. Don't skip any of them 🙈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• dev_priv — pointer to a device private struct. Like, the whole device's private little world. Give her the struct vmw_private * she asked for.
• sw_context — the software context being used for this batch. Your batch's main character energy lives in here ✨
• header — pointer to the command header in the command stream. This is the thing she's actually here to look at and validate, iykyk 💅

ngl, this page here is a little minimal by design — she validates and she dips. Everything she touches is documented above, so if you need more lore, go read the vmwgfx_execbuf.c neighbours in SEE ALSO. 💀

and that's the tea 🍓 — this lil page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026, and it goes by vmw_cmd_dx_s...endertargets(9). mwah, go forth and validate, bestie 💜🧚🌸
