drm_mode_config_init(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to drm_mode_config_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is all about DRM mode_configuration structure initialization, and yes it's giving kernel-internals realness 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int drm_mode_config_init (struct drm_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device, aka the main character of this whole situation 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: this is the unmanaged version of drmm_mode_config_init, and it exists for drivers which still explicitly call drm_mode_config_cleanup. No cap, that's literally its whole job.

FIXME: this function is deprecated 😭 and drivers should be converted over to drmm_mode_config_init. Like, for real, this is the "please migrate bestie" warning.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./include/drm/drm_mode_config.h struct
• drm_mode_config_funcs(9)
• struct drm_mode_config(9)

bestie, that's the whole vibe 💖 signed off from ./include/drm — October 2026, drm_mode_config_init(9), periodt ✨
