💅 __drm_atomic_helper_connector_state_init(9) — like, the whole glow-up for your connector state

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one little function that gives a brand-new connector state its default values. slay. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

__drm_atomic_helper_connector_state_init — initializes the connector state, no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void __drm_atomic_helper_connector_state_init (struct
       drm_connector_state *conn_state , struct drm_connector *connector );

so the whole thing returns void, and it takes these two babies. that's it, that's the vibe. ⭐

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • conn_state — the atomic connector state, and bestie, it must not be NULL. like, fr fr, do not do that to it 😭
  • connector — the connector object, and yep, this one also must not be NULL. both of them. non-negotiable. 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? it initializes the newly allocated conn_state with default values. that's the whole main character moment. 👑

and why would you care? because this is useful for drivers that subclass the connector state — like, if you're a driver doing your own little custom connector state thing, this is the helper that sets up the base for you. iykyk. 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is LONG, so buckle up bestie — every single one of these is iconic in its own way:

💡 friendly reminder: conn_state and connector are both must not be NULL. that's the one thing to remember, bestie. don't be the person who passes NULL. 🙈

and that's the page!! 💜 this little gem lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm, and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, and she ate. periodt. 🍓✨
