🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so welcome to the vmw_shader_id_ok(9) page in the Kernel API Manual 💖 this function does a vibe check on a compat shader user key + shader type to see whether they’re within valid bounds. that’s the whole name, bestie — no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool vmw_shader_id_ok (u32 user_key , SVGA3dShaderType shader_type );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• user_key — the user space id of the shader. yes, that’s the key, periodt.
• shader_type — the shader type. iconic little type parameter.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

it returns true if valid and false if not. literally that simple, no extra lore, no side quests. vibe check passed? that’s true 💖 vibe check failed? that’s false 💜 bestie 🦋
