vmw_view_id_ok(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_view_id_ok(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're deep in kernel-land, and this helper is tiny but iconic. It's giving “small function, important vibe check,” and honestly? Obsessed. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_view_id_ok — basic view id and type range checks. 🎀

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

bool vmw_view_id_ok (u32 user_key , enum vmw_view_type view_type );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• user_key — the user-space id used for the view. iykyk, this is the key from user-space.
• view_type — the view type. simple, clean, iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? Checks that the view id and type — typically stuff provided by user-space — is valid. That's the whole plot. It's a basic validity check, no cap, and it's doing its little range-check moment with main character energy. 🔥
