โœจ exynos_drm_ipp_register(9) โœจ

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for exynos_drm_ipp_register โ€” yes that's a mouthful, yes we're gonna get through it together ๐Ÿซถ


๐ŸŒธ NAME ๐ŸŒธ

exynos_drm_ipp_register โ€” registers a brand new picture processor hardware module, no cap ๐Ÿ’…


๐Ÿฆ‹ SYNOPSIS ๐Ÿฆ‹

int exynos_drm_ipp_register (struct device *dev , struct exynos_drm_ipp
*ipp , const struct exynos_drm_ipp_funcs *funcs , unsigned int caps ,
const struct exynos_drm_ipp_formats *formats , unsigned int num_formats
, const char *name );

likeโ€ฆ that's the whole signature, and it's a lot, so let's break it down one by one ๐Ÿ”ฅ


๐ŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS ๐ŸŽ€

  • dev โ€” the DRM device, the main character in this whole situation ๐Ÿ‘‘
  • ipp โ€” the ipp module you're about to init, so basically the thing getting its glow-up โœจ
  • funcs โ€” the callbacks for your new ipp object, iykyk ๐Ÿงš
  • caps โ€” a bitmask of ipp capabilities, and the flags all live under DRM_EXYNOS_IPP_CAP_* ๐Ÿ’–
  • formats โ€” an array of all the formats this thing supports, iconic ๐ŸŽ€
  • num_formats โ€” the size of that supported formats array, so it knows how many to look at ๐Ÿ™ˆ
  • name โ€” a name, and lowkey it's just for debugging purposes, but give it a cute one anyway ๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ’œ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ’œ

so what does it actually do? it initializes an ipp module. that's it, that's the vibe โ€” short and sweet, periodt ๐ŸŒˆ


โญ RETURN โญ

  • 0 (zero) on success โ€” slay ๐Ÿ’…
  • an error code on failure โ€” not slay, but we move ๐Ÿ˜ญ

๐Ÿ”ฎ SEE ALSO ๐Ÿ”ฎ

the kernel file lives right here, go look:

./drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_ipp.c

and the whole friend group of related calls: exynos_drm_ipp_unregister(9), exynos_drm_ipp_get_res_ioctl(9), exynos_drm_ipp_get_caps_ioctl(9), exynos_drm_ipp_get_limits_ioctl(9), exynos_drm_ipp_task_done(9), exynos_drm_ipp_commit_ioctl(9) โ€” go follow them, they're all in the same era ๐Ÿ’œ


ngl if your registration fails, read the return value before you start crying. the error code is literally telling you what went wrong. use the information, bestie ๐Ÿซถ

and that's the whole page!! source/version situation: it lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/exynos, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled exynos_drm_ipp_register(9) in the Kernel API Manual. mwah, bookmark it, annotate it, put it on your fridge ๐Ÿ’–โœจ๐ŸŽ€
