🎀 vmw_user_su...base_release(9) — user visible surface TTM base object destructor 🎀

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for vmw_user_surface_base_release, and it’s giving TTM base object destructor energy. bestie, it’s short, it’s sweet, and it’s lowkey important 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_user_surface_base_release — user visible surface TTM base object destructor

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_user_surface_base_release (struct ttm_base_object **p_base );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• p_base — pointer to a pointer to a TTM base object embedded in a struct vmw_user_surface. yes bestie, a pointer to a pointer, she’s fancy like that 💁‍♀️

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this one drops the base object’s reference on its resource, and the pointer pointed to by *p_base is set to NULL. that’s the whole vibe: reference dropped, pointer nulled, no cap 🫶✨
