πŸ’… vmw_cotable_unscrub β€” a kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_cotable_unscrub(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one lives in the vmwgfx corner of the kernel and it's basically the "undo" button for a cotable unscrub. no cap, tiny function, very specific job. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

vmw_cotable_unscrub β€” literally just undo a cotable unscrub operation πŸ’« that's the whole vibe.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vmw_cotable_unscrub (struct vmw_resource *res );

it returns an int, it takes one arg, that's it, that's the function πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • res β€” pointer to the cotable resource πŸ‘‘ this is the cotable we're doing the thing to, she's the main character here.

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she do. vmw_cotable_unscrub issues commands to (re)bind the cotable to its backing mob, and that mob lowkey needs to be validated and reserved at this point β€” like yes bestie, get your paperwork in order first πŸ“‹βœ¨

and here's the tea: this is identical to bind except the function interface looks different πŸ™ˆ same energy, different signature. don't let the name fool you, they're giving the same thing with a whole new outfit πŸ’…
