🎀 vmw_view_cotable_list_destroy(9) 🎀

okay bestie, you're on the vmw_view_co...list_destroy(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — yes, the title is abbreviated with ..., iykyk 💅. This one is short and spicy: it's all about evicting every view that belongs to a cotable. Let's go. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_view_cotable_list_destroy — Evict all views belonging to a cotable. 🫶

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

void vmw_view_cotable_list_destroy (struct vmw_private *dev_priv ,
struct list_head *list , bool readback );

🧾 ARGUMENTS 🧾

• dev_priv — Pointer to a device private struct. It's giving "device private struct pointer" energy, periodt. 🎀
• list — List of views belonging to a cotable. That's the list you're handing over, bestie.
• readback — Unused. Needed for function interface only. literally just vibing there for the interface, no cap. 💀

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

This function evicts all views belonging to a cotable. It must be called with the binding_mutex held, and the caller must hold a reference to the view resource. This is typically called before the cotable is paged out.

⚠️ caveat check, bestie: binding_mutex held, and caller holds a reference to the view resource. This is a must, not a maybe. The function is not out here doing that for you. 🙈
