amdgpu_dm_pl...x6_modifiers(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 amdgpu_dm_plane_add_gfx6_modifiers 💅

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-api girlies ✨) and the page title got chopped all cute and dramatic into amdgpu_dm_pl...x6_modifiers(9) — but the actual function is amdgpu_dm_plane_add_gfx6_modifiers, and she is literally the one exposing modifiers for GFX6-8. no cap. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

amdgpu_dm_plane_add_gfx6_modifiers — Expose modifiers for GFX6-8 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void amdgpu_dm_plane_add_gfx6_modifiers (const struct amdgpu_device *adev , u64 **mods , u64 *size , u64 *capacity );

like… four args, one void return, zero drama. periodt. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • adev — amdgpu_device pointer 🫶 (yes bestie, the device)
  • mods — Pointer to array of format modifiers ✨
  • size — Pointer to size of the array 🎀
  • capacity — Pointer to capacity of the array 🌸
ngl, that's three separate pointers into the same array-ish situation. keep your eyes on them, queen. 👀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the vibe: she calculates a DRM format modifier for macro tiled modes, for each supported bits per pixel value. every single one. she's thorough like that. 💅

And because she's not about to be out here duplicating herself, she uses de-duplication — because on some GPUs it may happen that different bpp results in the exact same macro tiling mode, depending on the tiling table. 😭 like, same fit, different number. so she de-dupes. iconic behavior honestly.

She also exposes a micro tiled only mode. is it the most optimal? no bestie, it's less optimal. but is it supported? yes. and that's what matters. 🫶✨
