drmm_kmalloc_array(9)

✨ drmm_kmalloc_array(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for drmm_kmalloc_array, and yes it's a whole mood 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drmm_kmalloc_array — the &drm_device managed version of kmalloc_array(), no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void * drmm_kmalloc_array (struct drm_device *dev , size_t n , size_t
size , gfp_t flags );

literally that's the whole vibe, look at her go ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the DRM device, she's the main character here 👑
• n — number of array elements to allocate, like how many lil slots you want 🍓
• size — size of one array member, i.e. how chunky each slot is
• flags — the GFP allocation flags, you know the drill 💫

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this is a drm_device managed version of kmalloc_array — think of it as kmalloc_array but with a built-in cleanup crew 🧚

the way that this works: the memory you allocate is automatically freed on the final drm_dev_put. you don't have to remember to free it, she handles it herself, iconic behaviour honestly 😭

and it works exactly like a memory allocation obtained by drmm_kmalloc — same energy, same rules, periodt 🔥
