i915_ggtt_clear_scanout(9)

✨ i915_ggtt_clear_scanout ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for i915_ggtt_clear_scanout — section 9, kernel-adjacent, deeply niche, and honestly kind of iconic for it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_ggtt_clear_scanout — literally just: clear the scanout flag for all objects' ggtt vmas 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i915_ggtt_clear_scanout (struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer, zero drama ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• obj — an i915 GEM object 🫶

so here's the tea: this function clears the scanout flags for that object's ggtt vmas. those flags get set when the object is pinned for display use, and this function — the one that clears them all — is targeted to be called by the frontbuffer tracking code when the frontbuffer is about to be released. no cap, that's the whole job 😭✨
