✨ vmw_validation_res_set_dirty(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a little function called vmw_validation_res_set_dirty, and no cap, it does exactly one job and it does it iconically.

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_validation_res_set_dirty — register a resource dirty set or clear during validation 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_validation_res_set_dirty (struct vmw_validation_context *ctx ,
void *val_private , u32 dirty );

literally that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 🦋

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

  • ctx — the validation context. that's the main character right there 👑
  • val_private — the additional meta-data pointer you got back when the resource was registered with the validation context. it's how you identify which resource you're talking about, iykyk 🔥
  • dirty — the dirty information, VMW_RES_DIRTY_XX. that's the vibe check on whether we're setting or clearing, bestie ✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

💀 reminder bestie: dirty takes VMW_RES_DIRTY_XX values — don't just make up numbers, ok? 🙈
