📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 drm_mode_create_scaling_mode_property — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this page is literally called drm_mode_create_scaling_mode_property, and what it does is create scaling mode property. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int drm_mode_create_scaling_mode_property (struct drm_device *dev );

like, that's the whole signature. she's short, she's sweet, she takes exactly one argument. 😌

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • dev — the DRM device. that's it, that's the bestie. your whole graphics situation 💖

⭐ DESCRIPTION

so here's the tea, bestie: a driver calls this the first time it's needed. that's the rule, okay? not before. and once you've made the property, it must be attached to the desired connectors — no leaving it floating around unattached, that's giving orphan energy and we don't do that here 💀

✨ important icon behaviour alert ✨ Atomic drivers should use drm_connector_attach_scaling_mode_property instead — because that's the one that correctly assigns drm_connector_state.scaling_mode in the atomic state. like, do it the right way or don't do it at all, bestie. no cap. 🫶

fr fr, the atomic path is right there and it's iconic — go use it.

🔥 RETURN

0

yep. just 0. the whole return value. she ate and left no crumbs 😭 isn't it gorgeous
