💅 vmw_cotable_bind(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 🎀 this little cutie lives in the vmw_cotable_bind section and it's lowkey the "undo" button energy you didn't know you needed 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_cotable_bind — literally undoes a cotable unscrub operation, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_cotable_bind (struct vmw_resource *res , struct
       ttm_validate_buffer *val_buf );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• res — a pointer to the cotable resource 👑 like, the main character of this whole function.
• val_buf — a pointer to a struct ttm_validate_buffer that the caller prepped for convenience / fencing 💫 (the caller did the homework so you don't have to, we love a prepared bestie).

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so the way this works is: this function issues commands to (re)bind the cotable to its backing mob, and that mob needs to be validated and reserved at this point ⭐ like, non-negotiable, it's giving prerequisites 💅

heads up bestie: "needs to be validated and reserved at this point" is not a vibe suggestion, it's a requirement 🙈
