vmw_simple_resource_init(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_simple_resource_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖. This function’s whole job is to initialize a simple resource object. That’s it, that’s the vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_simple_resource_init (struct vmw_private *dev_priv , struct
       vmw_simple_resource *simple , void *data , void (*res_free)(struct
       vmw_resource *res) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev_priv — pointer to a struct device private. yes bestie, that’s the private device struct situation 🫶
• simple — the struct vmw_simple_resource to initialize. this is the one you’re bringing to life ✨
• data — data passed to the information initialization function. very “here’s the info, go off” energy 💅
• res_free — function pointer to destroy the simple resource. cleanup icon behavior, no cap 🧚

💅 RETURN 💅

It returns 0 if succeeded 🌟. If there’s an error, you get a negative error value 😭 — and in that case the resource will have been freed. so yeah, the cleanup already happened, iykyk 💀
