πΈ intel_dp_ms...or_connector(9) β Kernel API Manual πΈ
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes that's the manual name, it's giving very "the documentation is the main character" energy π
and this page is literally the glow-up guide for intel_dp_mst_add_topology_state_for_connector. Let's get into it.
β¨ NAME β¨
intel_dp_mst_add_topology_state_for_connector β add MST topology state for a connector π¦
like, it literally does what it says on the tin. iconic behavior fr fr.
π SYNOPSIS π
int intel_dp_mst_add_topology_state_for_connector (struct
intel_atomic_state *state , struct intel_connector *connector , struct
intel_crtc *crtc );
that's the whole signature, no cap β returns an int and takes three struct pointers, we love a clean little three-arg situation π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
stateβ the atomic state π (the big picture, the moment, the vibe check of the whole atomic commit)connectorβ the connector to add the state for π (this one's the star of the show)crtcβ the CRTC thatconnectoris attached to π₯ (its ride-or-die)
π DESCRIPTION π
Add the MST topology state for connector to state. periodt. π
Returns 0 on success, and a negative error code on failure π β so if it's not 0, something went sideways, bestie, and you should probably go look at it.
π SEE ALSO π
- Kernel file
./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp_mst.cπ (go read the source, iykyk) intel_dp_mst_atomic_check_link(9)intel_dp_mst_add_topology_state_for_crtc(9)intel_dp_mst_crtc_needs_modeset(9)intel_dp_mst_prepare_probe(9)
like a little friend group of functions, all hanging out in the same kernel file π§
ngl, if you're here you're probably deep in i915 display driver land β and honestly? obsessed for you. treat the connectors well and the connectors will treat you well π
and that's the page! shipped from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display, dated October 2026, and yes the header still says intel_dp_ms...or_connector(9) β it ate, it stayed iconic, no notes π
