okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_cleanup_fb(9) — yes the header is literally drm_gem_vram...r_cleanup_fb(9) because even manpage titles gotta abbreviate when they're too iconic for one line 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_cleanup_fb — the function that implements &struct drm_plane_helper_funcs.cleanup_fb. that's it, that's the whole job description, and honestly? slay 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_cleanup_fb (struct drm_plane *plane ,
       struct drm_plane_state *old_state );

like, it returns void, it takes two pointers, no drama, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • plane — a DRM plane, the whole main character of this story 👑
  • old_state — the plane's old state, aka the lore we're about to clean up 🧚

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so during plane updates, this function unpins the GEM VRAM objects of the plane's old framebuffer from VRAM. literally undoing the pinning, giving those objects their freedom back 🌈

it complements drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb — like, prepare is the setup era and cleanup is the closing-the-tab era, they're a matched set, iykyk 💖
