vmw_cmd_dx_set_shader(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is vmw_cmd_dx_set_shader(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the page for vmw_cmd_dx_set_shader, and its whole job is to validate the SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_SET_SHADER command. That’s it, that’s the assignment. Slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the signature, kept exactly so nobody has to guess the punctuation:

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

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

Three arguments, three little besties:

• dev_priv — pointer to a device private struct. 💖
• sw_context — the software context being used for this batch. ✨
• header — pointer to the command header in the command stream. 🎀
