💅 drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, and it's literally about grabbing private object state. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state — get private object state

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_private_state * drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state (struct drm_atomic_commit *state , struct drm_private_obj *obj );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• state — the global atomic state, periodt
• obj — the private object you're getting the state for, iykyk

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function returns the private object state for the given private object — and the way it does that is it allocates the state if it's needed. not optional, just bestie things 💅

it also grabs the relevant private object lock, because we need that state to be consistent. no cap, the lock matters.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

either the allocated state, or the error code encoded into a pointer. that's it, that's the vibe check ⭐
