       struct list_head *list );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• res_type — the resource type. yes, the type of the resource, iconic.
• user_key — the user-space id of the resource. iykyk 🔑
• res — valid (refcount != 0) pointer to a struct vmw_resource. so like, actually valid, not a zero-refcount vibe check fail 😭
• list — the staging list. the little waiting room list 💖

so here’s the tea, bestie: this function allocates a struct vmw_cmdbuf_res entry and adds the resource to the hash table of the manager identified by man. then the entry gets put on the staging list identified by list. slay. ✨
