📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 vmw_resource_relocation_add — the Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay bestie, so this one's a kernel API page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely iconic if you're the kind of girlie who parses command buffers for fun (me, I'm that girlie).

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_resource_relocation_add — literally "add a relocation to the relocation list". that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vmw_resource_relocation_add (struct vmw_sw_context *sw_context ,
const struct vmw_resource *res , unsigned long offset , enum
vmw_resource_relocation_type rel_type );

she takes four things and returns an int, periodt. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sw_context — pointer to the software context. yes queen, hand her the whole soft ctx. ✨
  • res — the resource. that's it, that's the vibe. 💜
  • offset — the offset into the command buffer currently being parsed where the id that needs fixup is located. and listen — the granularity is one byte. one. byte. granularity queen, do not come at her with words or nibbles. 😭
  • rel_type — the relocation type. slay, she's an enum. 🌈
ngl there's no deep lore here, bestie — these are just the four things. everything else you need is in the SEE ALSO (and girl, is there a lot of SEE ALSO). 👑

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

okay so this is the part where the page just goes off. it's all one kernel file — ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c — and then a whole friend group of references. i'm listing every single one, because i love you and i'd never leave one out. 🫶

like… that's the whole group chat. every one of them invited. 💀 (also peep vmw_execbuf_unpin_panic(9) — the name alone is giving main character energy, honestly same.)

🌟 the cute lil sign-off 🌟

and that's the page, bestie!! 🧚 she comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026, and her name is vmw_resource_relocation_add(9). go add some relocations to that relocation list. i'm obsessed. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶😭🔥👑🌈⭐💀🙈🍓💜
