💅 drm_atomic_commit_default_release(9) — the girlies' guide

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for drm_atomic_commit_default_release(9) 🌸 — yes the header line is literally truncated to drm_atomic_...ault_release(9) (iconic abbreviation energy, the ellipsis ate), but the actual full name is right down here ⬇️

✨ NAME ✨

drm_atomic_commit_default_release — the function that releases the memory that drm_atomic_commit_init set up for you 🫶 like, cleanup crew but make it DRM.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void drm_atomic_commit_default_release (struct drm_atomic_commit *state );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void in, vibes out 💜

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • state — the atomic state ✨ literally just the atomic state, that's the whole thing, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does she actually do? she frees all the memory allocated by drm_atomic_commit_init 🔥 every last byte, gone, released, slayed.

but — and this is the important part, bestie, listen up 🙈 — this should only be used by drivers which are still subclassing drm_atomic_commit and haven't switched to drm_private_state yet.

translation: if you already migrated to drm_private_state, this is not your girl 💀 she's legacy-coded. use her only if you're still on the old subclassing vibe.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long but we do not skip a single one, periodt 👑 everyone gets their moment:

and that's the whole page, bestie 🍓💖 go free that memory, stay hydrated, and remember: only for the subclassing drivers, iykyk 🧚

sign-off szn: this one lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm, dated October 2026, and yes it's the drm_atomic_...ault_release(9) page — same girl, same manual, mwah 💋⭐
