vmw_cmd_set_shader_const(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vmw_cmd_set_shader_const 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_cmd_set_shader_const(9) page — that's a kernel API manual entry, and honestly she's giving "small function, big responsibilities" 🎀. Her whole job? Validate the SVGA_3D_CMD_SET_SHADER_CONST command. That's it, that's the tweet. She's a vibe-check bouncer for one specific command in the command stream, and ngl the rest of this page is basically her guest list 📋✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like, three pointers walk into a function and she returns an int. periodt 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev_priv — pointer to a device private struct. your main character device info, the whole lore 🫶
  • sw_context — the software context that's being used for this batch. it's literally the batch's emotional support context 💖
  • header — pointer to the command header in the command stream. she needs to know which command she's looking at, iykyk 😌

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay so this list is long — it's giving "linked list of besties" 😭 but every single one of them matters, so here's the full roster, no cutting anyone:

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c, plus:

like I said. the whole group chat 💀💖

heads up bestie: that's the entire list from the page — don't come for me if you were hoping for a tl;dr, because the tl;dr is the list 🙈

and that's a wrap, mwah 💋 this page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026 — so go forth, validate those shader const commands, and slay ✨👑🌈
