💅 __drm_atomic_helper_connector_duplicate_state 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're doing kernel docs now, and honestly? iconic of us. this one's about copying atomic connector state and it's lowkey a little legend in the DRM helper family. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

__drm_atomic_helper_connector_duplicate_state — copy atomic connector state 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void __drm_atomic_helper_connector_duplicate_state (struct drm_connector
*connector , struct drm_connector_state *state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • connector — the connector object itself, your main character here 👑
  • state — the atomic connector state, aka the thing catching the copy 📥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it copies the atomic state from a connector's current state. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap.

and why would you even want that? because it's useful for drivers that subclass the connector state — yep, the ones out here doing their own custom little extensions, they need this. it's giving "helper for the helpers" energy fr fr 💅
