vmw_dummy_query_bo_create(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the vmw_dummy_query_bo_create(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — and the function is literally here to create a bo to hold a dummy query result. that's the name, no cap 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vmw_dummy_query_bo_create (struct vmw_private *dev_priv );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev_priv — a device private structure. that's the whole argument, bestie 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea: this function creates a small buffer object that holds the query result for dummy queries emitted as query barriers. then it maps the first page, initializes a pending occlusion query result structure, and finally unmaps the buffer. the way that it just does the whole little map-initialize-unmap situation is honestly iconic 😌💅.

also very important: no interruptible waits are done within this function. like, zero. none. not even a lil one 🫶.

and yeah — it returns an error if bo creation or initialization fails. so if the bo creation or the initialization doesn't slay, you get an error back 💀.
