🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • plane — the Plane. yeah, THE plane. she's the main character here 👑
  • state — the Atomic state. the whole vibe check at a single point in time ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so real talk: this function is the one that handles framebuffer flushing and vblank events. that's literally its whole thing, and it does it slayfully 💅

drivers can use this as their struct drm_plane_helper_funcs.atomic_update callback — like, you just point that field at her and she's ready to go, no extra setup, iykyk 🫶

that's it. that's the function. lowkey iconic for how little she asks of you 🌈
