vmw_view_srf(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is vmw_view_srf(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it returns a non-refcounted pointer to the surface a view is pointing to. that's the whole serve. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vmw_resource * vmw_view_srf (struct vmw_resource *res );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• res — pointer to a view resource. like, the view resource in question, bestie.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Real talk: the view itself is holding a reference, so as long as the view resource is alive, the surface resource will be. no extra refcount stress here — that's the vibe. 🫶
