👑 vmw_cmdbuf_irqthread(9) 👑

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this page is literally about vmw_cmdbuf_irqthread — the main part of the command buffer interrupt handler implemented as a threaded irq task. no cap, that’s the whole vibe. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_cmdbuf_irqthread — the main part of the command buffer interrupt handler implemented as a threaded irq task. it’s giving “irq, but make it threaded” energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_cmdbuf_irqthread (struct vmw_cmdbuf_man *man );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• man — pointer to the command buffer manager. that’s it, that’s the argument. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the bottom half of the interrupt handler is literally just a little delegation moment: it simply calls into the command buffer processor to free finished buffers and submit any queued buffers to hardware. periodt. 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file: ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_cmdbuf.c — yes, that exact path, bestie. 🧚
