💅 vmw_cmdbuf_res_commit(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_cmdbuf_res_commit(9) page — it's a Kernel API Manual moment, and honestly? iconic. this is the group-chat rundown you've been waiting for, no cap ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_cmdbuf_res_commit — commit a list of command buffer resource actions 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_cmdbuf_res_commit (struct list_head *list );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• list — the caller's list of command buffer resource actions. like, your list, the one you're bringing to the function. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? this function commits a list of command buffer resource additions or removals. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

it's typically called when the execbuf ioctl call that's triggering these actions has committed the fifo contents to the device. so the execbuf ioctl does its thing, the fifo contents land on the device, and then this function gets the call — main character energy fr fr 🔥

ngl that "typically" is doing a lot of work in that sentence, so don't go treating it as a law of the universe — it's just the usual case. 🙈
