vmw_cotable_resize(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is vmw_cotable_resize(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the function that resizes a cotable. that's the whole name vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_cotable_resize (struct vmw_resource *res , size_t new_size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• res — the cotable resource, bestie. the one getting the resize treatment. 💖
• new_size — the new size. it's a size_t, and it's giving “this is the size now.” ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this function resizes a cotable and binds the new backup buffer. iconic behavior, no cap. 🫶

if it fails, the cotable is left intact — so at least it doesn't ghost you with a half-destroyed table. 😭

⚠️ Important, bestie! this function may not fail once the MOB switch has been committed to hardware. and like, we mean it: that would put the device context in an invalid state that we currently can't recover from. so yeah… main character energy with zero room for error. 💀
