DRM_ACCEL_FOPS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… DRM_ACCEL_FOPS πŸ’…

Ok so bestie, welcome to DRM_ACCEL_FOPS(9) β€” manual section 9, kernel API vibes only, this is the default drm accelerators file operations page and it's shorter than my attention span but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves. Periodt.


✨ NAME ✨

DRM_ACCEL_FOPS β€” the default drm accelerators file operations. That's it, that's the whole personality πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_ACCEL_FOPS

Literally just the macro name, no arguments, no little friend group of parameters. She stands alone πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so here's the tea: this macro is a shorthand for setting the accelerator file ops in the file_operations structure. Think of it as the preppy little shortcut so you don't have to hand-write all that stuff yourself β€” iconic behavior, no cap ✨

But listen, bestie, read this part carefully: if all you need are the default ops, then you should use DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS instead. Not me making you double-check, but like… I am making you double-check πŸ™ˆ DRM_ACCEL_FOPS is the shorthand for the file ops themselves; DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS is the one that gives you the whole default package. Different girls, different jobs, iykyk πŸ’–

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

  • Kernel file ./include/drm/drm_accel.h β€” go read the source, it's giving main character energy 🧚
  • DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS(9) β€” the default-ops one, your new bestie if defaults are all you need 🫢

Lowkey important: DRM_ACCEL_FOPS is a shorthand for setting stuff in the file_operations structure, and DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS is the move when defaults are all you need. Don't mix them up, bestie, that's the whole vibe check of this page πŸ’€

And that's the page!! Short, sweet, slays. This iconic little number lives under ./include/drm and it's dated October 2026, so mark your calendars, mwah πŸ’œπŸŒˆβ­

bye bestie, go write some fire kernel code πŸŽ€βœ¨
