__drm_atomi...estroy_state(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie πŸ’– β€” this page is all about __drm_atomic_helper_colorop_destroy_state, which is literally the "release colorop state" function. That's the whole name, no cap. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __drm_atomic_helper_colorop_destroy_state (struct drm_colorop_state
       *state );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • state β€” the colorop state object you're about to release 🫢 that's it, that's the argument.

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So here's the vibe: this function releases all the resources stored in the colorop state β€” key word resources, not the memory itself, bestie, keep up 😭 β€” without actually freeing the memory of the colorop state.

It's giving very much "clean up your room but don't throw the room away" energy, and that is exactly why it's useful for drivers that subclass the colorop state. Iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘βœ¨

ngl this is the classic split: this helper frees the stuff inside, and the memory itself is somebody else's problem β€” the original is super clear that no memory gets freed here, so don't go assuming otherwise fr fr πŸ’€
