vmw_validation_find_bo_dup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to vmw_validation_find_bo_dup(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This is the little lookup that checks the validation context’s lists and goes, “wait… is this buffer object already in here?” 💅

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_validation_find_bo_dup — Find a duplicate buffer object entry in the validation context’s lists. 🎯

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole signature, exactly as it appears, no edits:

struct vmw_validation_bo_node * vmw_validation_find_bo_dup (struct
       vmw_validation_context *ctx , struct vmw_bo *vbo );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ctx — The validation context to search. It’s the place we’re digging through for the duplicate. 🔍
  • vbo — The buffer object to search for. This is the thing we’re like “have you seen this one?” about. 🫶

💅 RETURN 💅

If there’s a duplicate, you get a pointer to the struct vmw_validation_bo_node referencing it. If not, you get NULL — none found. That’s it, no mystery. ✨
