vmw_subres_dirty_full(9)

💅 vmw_subres_dirty_full(9) — the Kernel API Manual is quaking rn

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, where we talk about vmw_subres_dirty_full — and the name literally spoils the whole plot but whatever, we're doing this properly 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_subres_dirty_full — mark a full subresource as dirty. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_subres_dirty_full (struct vmw_surface_dirty *dirty , u32 subres
);

so it returns void (nothing comes back, no reward, no little treat 😭) and it takes exactly two things. periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dirty — the surface's dirty tracker. this is the main character of the operation, the one who's gonna be like "yeah, that subresource? messy. noted." 🔥
• subres — the subresource. a u32. just vibing there in the argument list, waiting to be marked 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie, buckle in, this list is LONG and it ate. the kernel file we're repping is ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c, and here's every single friend of the family — no skips, no cuts, we don't do that here 👑

like. thirty-one references. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

ngl the vmw_subres_dirty_add(9) one right near the end is lowkey the sibling you should also go read — but that's all the manpage tells us, so don't come for me 🙈

---

and that's the whole page, bestie, you understood it perfectly, no notes 💜

cute little sign-off to close us out: this one lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, it's stamped October 2026, and the whole thing is literally called vmw_subres_dirty_full(9) — same as the top, because symmetry is slay ✨🎀💅
