vmw_cotable_add_resource(9)

💫 vmw_cotable_add_resource — the whole vibe 💫

Okay bestie, gather round, because today we're looking at a little function from the Kernel API Manual called vmw_cotable_add_resource, and honestly? It does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_cotable_add_resource — adds a view to the cotable's list of active views. That's it. That's the whole job. No cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_cotable_add_resource (struct vmw_resource *res , struct list_head *head );

Note the void bestie — this one returns nothing. It just does the thing and dips. ✌️

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• res — pointer to a struct vmw_resource that represents the cotable. It's the main character of this operation, fr fr. 👑
• head — pointer to the struct list_head member of the resource, the one dedicated to the cotable's active resource list. This is where the view gets linked in, iykyk. 🔥

Heads up: head isn't just any struct list_head — it's specifically the member of the resource that's dedicated to the cotable's active resource list. Don't be out here passing a random list head, bestie, that's not the vibe check we're going for. 💀
