drm_atomic_...bridge_state(9)

✨ drm_atomic_get_new_bridge_state(9) ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for drm_atomic_get_new_bridge_state — honestly? kind of a niche little icon but we stan a focused queen 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_atomic_get_new_bridge_state — get the new bridge state, if it exists 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct drm_bridge_state * drm_atomic_get_new_bridge_state (const struct
       drm_atomic_commit *state , struct drm_bridge *bridge );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• state — the global atomic state object, i.e. the big main-character state that's holding everything together ✨
• bridge — the bridge you wanna grab, like reaching into the group chat for that one specific friend 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this function hands you the new bridge state for the bridge you passed in. That's it, that's the whole flex 😭

But — and this is the important part, no cap — if that bridge isn't part of the global atomic state, you get NULL back. Not an error, not a crash, just NULL. So like, check for it, bestie. Fr fr. 🙈

Omg okay, the friend group is large, buckle up 🎀

💀 lowkey reminder: NULL is a totally valid answer here, not a bug — so don't come for the function when it returns nothing, okay? 🫶

That's the whole page, bestie — mwah 💋 This lil number lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm (the Kernel API Manual's home turf), dated October 2026, and it's filed under drm_atomic_...bridge_state(9) in case you ever need to find it again 🦋✨🌸
