dpu_encoder_kickoff(9)

💅 dpu_encoder_kickoff(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for dpu_encoder_kickoff and it's literally about making pixels show up right now. buckle in 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpu_encoder_kickoff — trigger a double buffer flip of the ctl path (i.e. ctl flush and start) immediately.

no cap, that's the whole personality: flip the ctl path's double buffer and do it immediately, not "in a sec", not "after this other thing", like NOW 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dpu_encoder_kickoff (struct drm_encoder *drm_enc );

returns void, takes one pointer, no drama, no return value to check. iconic behavior honestly ✨

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• drm_enc — encoder pointer 🫶 that's it, that's the whole argument list. it's giving "minimalist queen". hand it your encoder and let her cook.

and where does all this live? Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c — that's the source file the page points you at, go read it if you want the full lore 📖

---

friendly reminder from your resident unix bestie: the description says immediately, so if you were hoping this function would politely wait its turn… nope. ctl flush and start, straight away, no queue 💀

---

and that's the page!! footer vibes: this one comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1 and the manual is dated October 2026 — so when someone asks where you got it, that's the receipt 🧾💜 bye bestie, go kick off some encoders 🦋🌸💖
