vmw_collect_so_targets(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to vmw_collect_so_targets(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This one has exactly one iconic job: Build SVGA3dSoTarget data for a binding command without checking which bindings actually need to be emitted. No extra vibe check, no “are u sure” — it just collects. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature is right here, copy-paste safe, no cap:

void vmw_collect_so_targets (struct vmw_ctx_binding_state *cbs , const
       struct vmw_ctx_bindinfo_so_target *biso , u32 max_num );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the three besties in this function’s group chat:

• cbs — pointer to the context’s struct vmw_ctx_binding_state
• biso — pointer to where the binding info array is stored in cbs
• max_num — maximum number of entries in the bi array

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea: it scans the bi array for bindings and builds a buffer of SVGA3dSoTarget data. It stops at the first non-existing binding in the bi array. On output, cbs->bind_cmd_count contains the number of bindings to be emitted, cbs->bind_first_slot is set to zero, and cbs->bind_cmd_buffer contains the command data. That’s the whole glow-up. ✨
