✨ vmw_collect_dirty_view_ids(9) ✨

okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about vmw_collect_dirty_view_ids — the function that builds view id data for a view binding command. bestie, it's giving kernel-internals realness 💅.

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_collect_dirty_view_ids — Build view id data for a view binding command.

---

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

void vmw_collect_dirty_view_ids (struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cbs , const struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo *bi , unsigned long *dirty , u32 max_num );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cbs — Pointer to the context's struct vmw_ctx_binding_state. 🫶
• bi — Pointer to where the binding info array is stored in cbs.
• dirty — Bitmap indicating which bindings need to be emitted. ✨
• max_num — Maximum number of entries in the bi array.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so vmw_collect_dirty_view_ids scans the bi array for bindings that need to be emitted, then builds a buffer of view id data. on output, cbs->bind_cmd_count contains the number of bindings to be emitted, cbs->bind_first_slot indicates the index of the first emitted binding, and cbs->bind_cmd_buffer contains the command data. lowkey iconic that it does all that in one go 💅.
