vmw_user_sur..._base_to_res(9)

💅 vmw_user_sur..._base_to_res(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and yes the title is genuinely abbreviated like that — vmw_user_sur..._base_to_res(9) — somebody's terminal was NOT wide enough and honestly? relatable. it's vmw_user_surface_base_to_res in full, and it lives in the vmwgfx corner of the kernel tree. let's get into it, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_user_surface_base_to_res — the TTM base object to resource converter for user visible surfaces. that's it, that's the whole gig, she converts, she slays 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct vmw_resource * vmw_user_surface_base_to_res (struct
ttm_base_object *base );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• base — a pointer to a TTM base object. that's the thing you're handing over, bestie 🫶

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what she does: vmw_user_surface_base_to_res returns the struct vmw_resource embedded in a struct vmw_surface, for the user-visible object that's identified by the TTM base object base.

literally just reaches in, grabs the resource out of the surface, hands it back. iconic behavior honestly 🔥
