vmw_cmdbuf_commit_cur(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 vmw_cmdbuf_commit_cur — it's giving "ship it" energy ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlie 💅), and it's literally called vmw_cmdbuf_commit_cur. Say it with me: commit... current. It's the one that says "yeah I'm done writing commands into the current command buffer, lock it in" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_cmdbuf_commit_cur — commit commands in the current command buffer. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_cmdbuf_commit_cur (struct vmw_cmdbuf_man *man , size_t size ,
bool flush );

like. it returns void, so no tea no shade, nothing comes back. you just call it and trust the process 🫶

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • man — the command buffer manager. yes that's the actual parameter name, and yes we're all being normal about it 🙈 it's the manager struct that's running the whole operation.
  • size — the size of the commands actually written. not the size you hoped to write. not the size you manifested. the real one. be honest with her 💀
  • flush — whether to flush the command buffer immediately. a bool, so it's a yes-or-no moment. iconic behaviour truly 👑

not me listing all 37 of them 💀 but fr fr, they're all right there if you wanna go down the rabbit hole. iykyk 🧚

lowkey shoutout to the __-prefixed ones — you know they're the internal main characters 🔥

and that's the page, bestie! this slice of kernel lore comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx and it's dated October 2026 — so mark your calendar, she's from the future ⭐ stay slay, keep your command buffers committed, and remember: size is what you actually wrote. periodt. 💅🎀
