vmw_cmdbuf_ctx_submit(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_cmdbuf_ctx_submit(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the whole point is to submit command buffers from a command buffer context. That’s the main character energy of this page. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       void vmw_cmdbuf_ctx_submit (struct vmw_cmdbuf_man *man , struct
       vmw_cmdbuf_context *ctx );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • man — the command buffer manager. Think of it as the one holding the aux cord for the command buffers. 🎧
  • ctx — the command buffer context. The little vibe container where the command buffers are hanging out. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the actual tea: this function submits command buffers to the hardware. It keeps submitting command buffers until there are no more command buffers to submit, or until the hardware can't handle more command buffers. That’s the whole stopping condition, fr fr. 🔥

bestie, lowkey important: it’s not “submit forever” — it’s “submit until there’s nothing left or the hardware can’t handle more.” Those are the two ends of the vibe check. 💀
