okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for dm_test_validate_dcc_independent_64b_mismatch_fails β a real one from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly it's giving "tiny test, huge name" energy but we stan. π
πΈ NAME πΈ
dm_test_validate_dcc_independent_64b_mismatch_fails β Verify the 64B compatibility check. That's it, that's the whole vibe check. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void dm_test_validate_dcc_independent_64b_mismatch_fails (struct kunit
test );
like, she takes one thing and returns absolutely nothing. no cap. π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
testβ KUnit test context. that's the whole parameter list, and yes it's just the one. she's lowkey low-maintenance. π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
So here's the tea: this test verifies if validation fails when independent_64b_blks values do not match. π
That's literally the entire plot. mismatched independent_64b_blks values walk in β validation should be like "nope, not today" β test passes. it's giving "chaos is the point" and honestly? iconic. β¨

like I said. huge friend group. drink some water before you click through all of those ππ
π bestie note: this one's a test, so just know that validation is supposed to fail here β mismatched independent_64b_blks = a failed validation = a happy test. don't go "fixing" it. π
and that's the whole page !! this lil' cutie comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/..., dated October 2026, and it's the dm_test_val...smatch_fails(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. go forth and slay your DCC validation, queen ππ¦π
