vmw_cmdbuf_remove_pool(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the vmw_cmdbuf_remove_pool(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and the NAME is literally giving: Take down the main buffer space pool. That's the whole assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_cmdbuf_remove_pool (struct vmw_cmdbuf_man *man );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• man — Pointer to a command buffer manager. That's the one thing you pass in, no extra drama. 🌸

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so vmw_cmdbuf_remove_pool() removes the main buffer space pool, and you should call it before MOB memory management is removed. Like, that timing is the vibe check — do not skip it, fr fr. ⏰

When this function has been called, only small command buffer submissions of size VMW_CMDBUF_INLINE_SIZE or less are allowed, and the default size of the command buffer for small kernel submissions is also set to this size. So yeah: small-buffer szn only after this, bestie. ✨
