💅 __drm_atomic...licate_state(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat for __drm_atomic...licate_state(9), aka the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed. no cap, this is a little function with a big name and honestly? it's giving "supporting cast, main character energy." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

__drm_atomic_helper_bridge_duplicate_state — literally just copies atomic bridge state. that's the whole vibe. copy. atomic. bridge. state. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __drm_atomic_helper_bridge_duplicate_state (struct drm_bridge *bridge , struct drm_bridge_state *state );

like, it returns void. no return value, no drama. it does the thing and leaves. icon behavior tbh 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bridge — the bridge object, the main character of this whole operation 💖
  • state — the atomic bridge state. this is where everything's going 🫶

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it do?? it copies the atomic state from a bridge's current state, and then it resets the inferred values. copy, then reset the inferred bits. both. in one go. we love efficiency ✨

and why do we care? because this is genuinely useful for drivers that subclass the bridge state — like, if your driver is out here making its own extended version of the bridge state, this is the helper that's got your back. iykyk 💅

no cap, the "resets inferred values" part is literally in the description — don't come for me, i'm just the messenger 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is long long, but every single one of these is part of the family so we're listing them all. no skipping, bestie. periodt 💀

like i said. the whole family tree. crtc girlies, plane girlies, connector girlies, private obj girlies, bridge girlies — everybody's here 🌈

and that's the page!! mwah 💋

this little masterpiece lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm and it's dated October 2026 — yes, future queen behavior 👑✨ catch you in the next manpage, bestie 🦋💜
