vmw_validation_res_reserve(9)

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for vmw_validation_res_reserve(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and yes, it’s lowkey a whole resource-reservation moment 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_validation_res_reserve — reserve all resources registered with this validation context. like, every single one registered with the context, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_validation_res_reserve (struct vmw_validation_context *ctx , bool intr );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ctx — the validation context. the whole context, the main character of this operation 🫶
• intr — use interruptible waits when possible. this bool is literally the “use interruptible waits when possible” switch.

🦋 RETURN 🦋

• Zero on success. slay.
• -ERESTARTSYS if interrupted. yep, that exact code, bestie.
• a negative error code on failure. not the vibe, but important.
