💅 vmw_validation_revert — a kernel API manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_validation_revert(9) page, a genuine kernel API manual icon. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_validation_revert — the "nvm, undo that" of validation actions, for when your command submission didn't slay and you gotta walk it back 😭

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_validation_revert (struct vmw_validation_context *ctx );

periodt. that's the whole signature, no notes 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ctx — the validation context, aka the main character of this whole function. it's the thing you're reverting, so like, hand it over ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this is where you go when command submission failed and you need to revert the validation actions you did. the vibe check failed, the submission did not eat, and now we're cleaning up 🧹

and ngl there's one little thing that lowkey matters: the caller still needs to unref resources after a call to this function. like, this function does its part, but you are not off the hook — the unref is yours to handle, bestie. don't ghost it 🙈
