🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_view_create — create a hardware view. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_view_create (struct vmw_resource *res );

like, you hand it a resource and it gives you back an int. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• res — pointer to the view resource. that's your girl. she's the one doing the work, you're just pointing at her. 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea: this function creates a hardware view. full stop. no cap. 🔥

and typically — meaning like, usually, not always, don't come for me — you'd use this when that view has previously been destroyed by an eviction operation. so basically the view got evicted 😭 and now you're bringing her back. resurrection era. main character energy fr fr. 💀✨

ngl this is the "she's back and better" of kernel functions. but like, factually. only the facts. don't read anything extra into it bestie 💅
