drm_atomic_...estroy_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_atomic_helper_plane_destroy_state — the default state destroy hook, bestie 💅

okay so real quick, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about one tiny little cleanup function that your DRM driver calls when it's time to let a plane state go 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_atomic_helper_plane_destroy_state (struct drm_plane *plane ,
       struct drm_plane_state *state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • plane — the drm plane, like, the actual plane object 🛩️
  • state — the plane state object to release, aka the thing we're saying bye to 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It's the default plane state destroy hook for drivers that don't have their own subclassed plane state structure 💀

That's the whole vibe. If you went and made your own fancy custom plane state struct, this hook isn't your girl — but if you're riding with the plain default one? She's got you, no cap 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_state_helper.c, plus the whole friend group — atomic state reset and initialization(9) and literally all of these:

okay that's the whole page, ily, go free your plane states responsibly 💜
