dm_test_dmub...o_hw_support(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so this is dm_test_dmub...o_hw_support(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the test that checks what happens when the DMUB service shows up like "bestie i have no hardware support for you" 🫢

The name is longer than my attention span so let's spell it out: dm_test_dmub_hw_init_no_hw_support β€” Test hw init returns 0 when HW is unsupported. No cap, that's the whole vibe.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void dm_test_dmub_hw_init_no_hw_support (struct kunit *test );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • test β€” the KUnit test context, aka the little main-character passport every KUnit test carries around πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so picture this: the DMUB service is like "sorry babe, there's literally no hardware support here" 😭 and in that exact moment, dm_dmub_hw_init is supposed to do two iconic things:

  1. log it β€” yes, leave a lil paper trail, we love receipts πŸ“
  2. return 0 β€” and it does not go initializing any DMUB hardware, because there is none, periodt βœ‹

that's the whole test. no hardware, no init, just a log and a clean 0. slay.
