💅 dm_test_con..._intervening — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, specifically page dm_test_con..._intervening(9) (yes the title is literally abbreviated like that, it's giving truncated icon energy and we respect it 🎀). This is a KUnit test helper from the AMD display driver test suite and honestly it's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

dm_test_construct_old_payload_intervening — the test that runs the calc with an intervening payload. That's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dm_test_construct_old_payload_intervening (struct kunit *test );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • test — the KUnit test context 💖 like, it's the little container that holds all the test's state and reporting info. Every KUnit test gets one, no exceptions, periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea 🍓: this test deals with a payload whose vc_start_slot falls between the new payload and the manager's next_start_slot. And what does that do? It narrows the allocated time-slot window. That's the whole behavior under test, and honestly? It ate. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

First off, the kernel file this lives in, no cap:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/tests/amdgpu_dm_helpers_test.c

And now the entire friend group 😭 — every single one of these, in order, because we do not skip people in this house 👑

ngl bestie, that SEE ALSO list is a whole group chat and you're on read-receipt duty 💀 but every single one of them is linked and valid, promise 🫶

🌷 okay that's the page!! this one came from the kernel tree path ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and the doc is dated October 2026, version-slash-source dm_test_con..._intervening(9). mwah, go read the source, ily, bye 💖✨🧚
