vmw_cmdbuf_res_remove(9)

✨ vmw_cmdbuf_res_remove(9) ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 💖 this one's from the Kernel API Manual (the vmw_cmdbuf_res_remove page, to be exact) and it's all about staging a command buffer managed resource for removal. very demure, very mindful, very kernel-core 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vmw_cmdbuf_res_remove (struct vmw_cmdbuf_res_manager *man , enum
vmw_cmdbuf_res_type res_type , u32 user_key , struct list_head *list ,
struct vmw_resource **res_p );

literally the whole signature, no cap 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• man — pointer to the command buffer resource manager. she's the main character here 👑
• res_type — the resource type.
• user_key — the user-space id of the resource. it's giving "which one is it" energy 🔍
• list — the staging list.
• res_p — if the resource is in an already committed state, this points to the struct vmw_resource on successful return. heads up tho: the pointer will be non ref-counted 🙈 (iykyk, don't go freeing it like it's yours)

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she actually do? 💖 This function looks up the struct vmw_cmdbuf_res entry from the manager hash table and, if it exists, removes it. then, depending on its current staging state, she either removes the entry from the staging list or adds it to it with a staging state of removal. iconic behavior, truly ✨
