πŸ’… dm_test_ori...ze_rotate_90(9) β€” bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about a function called dm_test_oriented_plane_size_rotate_90. yes the header truncates it with the ... β€” that's the manpage being dramatic, not me. the full name is right there in NAME, we get to it in a sec 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

dm_test_oriented_plane_size_rotate_90 β€” literally what it says on the tin: Test Oriented plane size rotate 90. that's the whole vibe. a test, for oriented plane size, rotating by 90. slay πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dm_test_oriented_plane_size_rotate_90 (struct kunit *test );

so it returns void (nothing back, it's giving "the journey was the friends we made along the way") and it takes exactly one thing: a struct kunit * named test. no cap, that's it πŸŽ€


πŸ‘‘ ARGUMENTS πŸ‘‘

  • test β€” The KUnit test context. this is the little test harness bubble the function lives inside, it's basically the group chat the test is posted in πŸ’– it's a struct kunit *, so it's a pointer, so treat it nice.

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

first up, the Kernel file this bad boy lives in, and yes i'm copying the path exactly because it is iconic and also i would never disrespect a file path:

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

and then the whole friend group, all section 9, all absolutely valid:

notice how rotate 0, 180 and 270 are all here but 90 is us, we are the main character of this rotation arc πŸ”₯ go say hi to your siblings bestie, they're all in the same file, it's a whole family reunion 😭


ngl the original page is short and i respect that β€” it said what it needed to say, hit send, and logged off. no warnings, no caveats, no deprecated anything to scream about. we love a low-drama manpage 🌈

sign-off πŸŽ€βœ¨

this little love letter comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... (the truncation is canon, i don't make the rules) and it's dated October 2026 β€” future-coded of it honestly. the header up top said dm_test_ori...ze_rotate_90(9) and the footer said the same thing, and now you know the whole story. bye bestie, go rotate something 90 degrees πŸ’œπŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ
