drm_atomic_...t_writebacks(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, you’re on the drm_atomic_...t_writebacks(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally about issuing writebacks 💖 no cap, let’s get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

drm_atomic_helper_commit_writebacks - issue writebacks

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void drm_atomic_helper_commit_writebacks (struct drm_device *dev ,
       struct drm_atomic_commit *state );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the DRM device, like the whole graphics vibes container 🫶
  • state — the atomic state object being committed, periodt 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here’s the tea: this function loops over the connectors, checks if the new state requires a writeback job to be issued, and in that case it issues an atomic commit on each connector. That’s the whole vibe — connector by connector, doing the writeback thing when the new state says it’s needed ✨
