vmw_cmd_inv...e_gb_surface(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_cmd_invalidate_gb_surface — that's section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, iykyk 🎀 — and honestly? she's the function that validates the SVGA_3D_CMD_INVALIDATE_GB_SURFACE command. that's literally the whole job. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like yes she returns an int, and yes the line break in the middle is just how she's printed, we don't fix that, we respect it 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev_priv — a pointer to a device private struct. that's the device's own little private-struct moment, main character energy 👑
• sw_context — the software context that's being used for this batch. like, the context she's currently vibing in for this batch specifically ✨
• header — a pointer to the command header inside the command stream. the header. in the stream. iconic 💅

like. that's the whole friend group and she's invited to every party 😭🔥

lowkey a reminder bestie: this page is vmw_cmd_invalidate_gb_surface(9), and the only thing she does is validate that SVGA_3D_CMD_INVALIDATE_GB_SURFACE command. no secret extra behaviour, no bonus options, we're not inventing lore 💀

✨ and that's the page!! ✨ this lil beauty lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026 — mwah, slay, bye bestie 💜🦋🎀
