drm_atomic_...nector_reset(9)

💅 drm_atomic_...nector_reset(9) — like, the whole page, bestie

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's a kernel-function page, so grab a snack 🍓 and let's go.

---

✨ NAME ✨

drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset — the default &drm_connector_funcs.reset hook for connectors. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset (struct drm_connector *connector
);

literally one arg, no cap 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• connector — a drm connector. yeah. that's the whole description. iconic of it honestly 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what it does: it resets the atomic state for connector by freeing the state pointer — and yeah, that pointer might be NULL, like at driver load time, no big deal — and then allocating a new empty state object. out with the old, in with the fresh empty one ✨🦋

lowkey a whole reading list. bestie you got this 💀🫶

and that's the page!! footer tea for the record: it's filed under ./drivers/gpu/drm, dated October 2026, and yeah the title up top is drm_atomic_...nector_reset(9) because the man page gods truncate things. slay, bye 💜🌈⭐
