okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_resource_do_evict page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, that manual, the one we read for fun ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_resource_do_evict — evict a resource, and transfer its data to a backup buffer 💅

like literally it kicks the resource out of where it's chilling and moves all its stuff into a backup buffer first. no cap, nothing gets lost.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_resource_do_evict (struct ww_acquire_ctx *ticket , struct
       vmw_resource *res , bool interruptible );

three args, one int back, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ticket — the ww acquire ticket to use, or NULL if you're trylocking 👀 (yes, trylocking bestie, it's a whole thing)
• res — the resource to evict, the main character of this function fr fr
• interruptible — whether to wait interruptible. like, do we wait patiently or do we wait interruptibly 🧚
