💅 drm_modeset_acquire_init(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so welcome to the drm_modeset_acquire_init(9) page in the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 this is the little setup moment for an acquire context, and it's lowkey iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_modeset_acquire_init — initialize acquire context 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_modeset_acquire_init (struct drm_modeset_acquire_ctx *ctx ,
       uint32_t flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — the acquire context. That's the main-character struct you're setting up, periodt 💅
• flags — 0 or DRM_MODESET_ACQUIRE_INTERRUPTIBLE. Those are literally the two options, no cap.

When you pass DRM_MODESET_ACQUIRE_INTERRUPTIBLE to flags, all calls to drm_modeset_lock will perform an interruptible wait. That's the whole tea ☕✨
