💅 drm_atomic_...create_state(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're reading kernel docs for fun now, that's the vibe, that's the era 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_atomic_helper_bridge_create_state — the default &drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_create_state hook for bridges 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_bridge_state * drm_atomic_helper_bridge_create_state (struct
drm_bridge *bridge );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bridge — the bridge object, your main character for this whole function 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what this does is literally allocate and initialize a pristine drm_bridge_state. brand new, untouched, fresh out the box ✨

and like… when is this useful? bestie it's for drivers that don't subclass drm_bridge_state. that's it, that's the whole vibe. if you're not subclassing, this hook is your girl 💅

✨ RETURN ✨

it hands you back a pointer to the new bridge state 🎀 — or, if things go sideways, an ERR_PTR on failure 😭 no cap, check that pointer.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

like… that's a whole friend group right there, go say hi 👑

lowkey the whole list above is your reading list. not me making homework sound cute 🙈
