vmw_resource_unbind_list(9)

okay bestie, welcome to vmw_resource_unbind_list(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is literally right there in the title, we're doing this 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_resource_unbind_list — and that's it. The dash is just vibing with no description after it. Minimalist icon behavior, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_resource_unbind_list (struct vmw_bo *vbo );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vbo — pointer to the current backing MOB. That's the whole argument lineup, bestie — one pointer, main character energy 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what it does: it evicts the Guest Backed hardware resource if the backup buffer is being moved out of MOB memory. Like, the resource gets the boot when that backup buffer is leaving MOB memory 🚪💨

And lowkey the important safety tea: this function will not race with the resource validation code, because resource validation and eviction both require the backup buffer to be reserved. No chaotic parallel drama, periodt 🔥
