vmw_view_res_val_add(9)

okay bestie, meet vmw_view_res_val_add(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is short, sweet, and here to add a view + its surface to the validation list. iconic behavior, honestly ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmw_view_res_val_add — add a view and the surface it’s pointing to to the validation list. that’s the whole plot: view + its surface, onto the validation list. periodt 👑💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the exact signature, no cap:

int vmw_view_res_val_add (struct vmw_sw_context *sw_context , struct
       vmw_resource *view );

that’s the shape of it 🫶

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• sw_context — the software context holding the validation list. she’s the keeper of the list, okay? 💅
• view — pointer to the view resource. literally pointing at the view resource 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns 0 if success, negative error code otherwise. so: success = 0, anything negative = error-code vibe check 😭✨
