alloc_test_connector(9)

alloc_test_connector(9)

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie — today’s main character is alloc_test_connector(9), and she is literally the minimal amdgpu_dm_connector for display tests. 💖✨

💖 NAME 💖

alloc_test_connector — minimal amdgpu_dm_connector for display tests. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct amdgpu_dm_connector * alloc_test_connector (struct kunit *test ,
       unsigned int index );

you call it like that, no cap. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• test — the KUnit test context used for managed allocation 🧚
• index — the drm connector index to assign 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function allocates an amdgpu_dm_connector with an initialised connector refcount (so drm_connector_get is valid) and a dc_link/dc pair. The connector’s free_cb is left NULL, so drm_connector_put is a safe no-op that never releases the object. periodt. 💀

vibe check 👑: free_cb being NULL is the whole reason drm_connector_put stays a safe no-op and never releases the object — iconic, honestly. 🫶
