drm_vblank_work_init(9)
π drm_vblank_work_init β okay bestie, let's set up a vblank work item β¨
So this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a whole manual, she's got range π), and it's about drm_vblank_work_init(9), which β spoiler β initializes a vblank work item. Iconic. Let's get into it.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void drm_vblank_work_init (struct drm_vblank_work *work , struct
drm_crtc *crtc , void (*func)(struct kthread_work *work) );
Literally that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, do not @ me π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
workβ the vblank work item. This is the little guy you're setting up πcrtcβ the CRTC whose vblank will trigger the work execution. Like, this is the CRTC that gets to be the main character and fire the whole thing off πfuncβ the work function to be executed. The function that actually does the thing when the vblank hits π₯
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Okay so real talk: this function initializes a vblank work item for a specific CRTC. That's the vibe. That's the whole job. One (1) work item, tied to one (1) CRTC. No cap π
π SEE ALSO π
Go read these too, bestie, they're all in their flop era until you do:
Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank_work.cβ the source file itself π§vblank works(9)drm_vblank_work_schedule(9)drm_vblank_work_cancel_sync(9)drm_vblank_work_flush(9)drm_vblank_work_flush_all(9)
π fr fr, that's the entire page. Short, sweet, and lowkey kind of a bop.
That's a wrap, bestie π β this page lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm and it was dated October 2026, so likeβ¦ future queen behavior honestly βπ
