vmw_sou_read..._fifo_commit(9)

💅 vmw_sou_read..._fifo_commit(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶

Okay so picture this: it's a kernel manpage, it's got exactly one function in it, and she is serving callback energy. Welcome to vmw_sou_readback_fifo_commit ✨ — no cap, that's the whole name, and yes the header up top is just her truncated little nickname vmw_sou_read..._fifo_commit(9) because even kernel docs gotta keep it cute and short sometimes 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_sou_readback_fifo_commit — the callback that submits a whole set of readback clips. That's it. That's her job. Main character energy, honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_sou_readback_fifo_commit (struct vmw_kms_dirty *dirty );

Literally just one function, one argument, returns nothing. Clean. Minimalist. Ate. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dirty — the closure structure. That's the whole description, bestie. She's a closure structure, she's the vibe, she's the thing getting passed in. Don't overthink her 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she do? She commits a previously built command buffer of readback clips. Like, the buffer was already built earlier (not her problem, not her era), and now she's the one who goes "okay bestie, ship it" and commits it 💖

That's the entire description. Short, sweet, iconic. Ngl, some manpages are ten paragraphs of lore and this one is like two sentences and a dream 🌈
