dm_test_wb_c...up_job_no_fb(9)
π dm_test_wb_cleanup_job_no_fb(9) β a whole page from your fave, the Kernel API Manual β¨
okay so bestie, buckle up, because this one is a tiny little KUnit test with main character energy. It lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today π ) and it's basically a vibe check for one specific "nothing to do here" moment.
πΈ NAME πΈ
dm_test_wb_cleanup_job_no_fb β this one verifies that cleanup_job does an early return when there's, like, no framebuffer at all. No fb, no problem, we bounce π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void dm_test_wb_cleanup_job_no_fb (struct kunit *test );
literally that's it. one function, zero drama, she's lowkey minimal.
π ARGUMENTS π
testβ the KUnit test context, aka the little group-chat thread this test gets to run inside π§
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the tea: when job->fb is NULL, there is genuinely nothing to unpin. Nothing. Zero. Nada. So amdgpu_dm_wb_cleanup_job has got to return immediately β like, the second it peeks at that NULL it should be out the door, no extra steps, no lingering π
That's the whole test. It checks that the early return actually happens. Iconic behaviour honestly, we love a clean exit. π

ngl if you skipped the description, please go back β the entire point is thatjob->fbbeingNULLmeans there is nothing to unpin andamdgpu_dm_wb_cleanup_jobmust return immediately. that's the test. that's the whole test. periodt. π
and that's the page!! footer core: this gorgeous thing comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/..., dated October 2026, and she answers to the name dm_test_wb_c...up_job_no_fb(9). mwah, stan, bye bestie π
