π dm_mst_test_retrieve_downstream_no_aux β Kernel API Manual β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for dm_mst_test_retrieve_downstream_no_aux(9) β yes that's the real full name, the page header had to abbreviate it as dm_mst_test_...tream_no_aux(9) because it's giving "long title energy" and honestly? iconic of it. this is the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
dm_mst_test_retrieve_downstream_no_aux β literally just a test that checks retrieval bails out without AUX π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void dm_mst_test_retrieve_downstream_no_aux (struct kunit *test );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
testβ the KUnit test context, bestie. that's it, that's the whole argument π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe check: this test verifies that retrieve_downstream_port_device returns false when the connector has no DSC AUX channel and therefore cannot read DPCD. no AUX channel, no DPCD read, and the function bails out β that's the whole point, no cap. it's a "the function says nope when it can't do the thing" test and we love a clean boundary case π₯
π SEE ALSO π
the kernel file this lives in, in all its glory:
