drm_dp_tunne...ble_bw_alloc(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

Okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is drm_dp_tunnel_disable_bw_alloc β€” literally the function you call to Disable DP tunnel BW allocation mode. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int drm_dp_tunnel_disable_bw_alloc(struct drm_dp_tunnel *tunnel);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • tunnel β€” the tunnel object, periodt. That's the thing you're passing in, no cap. 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So what does it actually do? It disables the DP tunnel BW allocation mode on tunnel. Like, turns it off. Off-mode. Goodbye bandwidth-allocating era. πŸ’€

And what does it hand back to you?

  • Returns 0 in case of success β€” slay, we love a clean zero. πŸ‘‘
  • Returns a negative error code otherwise β€” so if it's negative, something went sideways, ngl. 😭

That's the whole deal, fr fr. No hidden tricks.


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_tunnel.c β€” go read it, it's giving main character energy. πŸ“–βœ¨

And here's the whole tunnel friend group, all of them iconic:

πŸ’‘ Pro bestie move: drm_dp_tunnel_enable_bw_alloc(9) is the opposite of this one, so if you ever need to turn the mode back on, that's your girl. iykyk.

✨ okay that's the whole page, mwah ✨
