πŸ’… intel_dpt_suspend β€” bestie's guide to suspending DPT FB memory mappings ✨

okay so like, this is the intel_dpt_suspend(9) manpage from the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "short but crucial" energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_dpt_suspend β€” suspend the memory mapping for all DPT FBs during system suspend πŸ’€

like literally, when the system goes night-night, this is the function that handles the DPT framebuffer memory mapping situation πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_dpt_suspend (struct intel_display *display );

no cap, that's the whole signature πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • display β€” display device instance πŸ–₯️✨ (the main character of this whole operation, fr fr)

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” this function suspends the memory mapping during system suspend for all framebuffers that are mapped to HW via a GGTT->DPT page table πŸ”₯

⚠️ important bestie alert ⚠️ β€” this function must be called before the mappings in GGTT are suspended by calling i915_ggtt_suspend. like, order matters here, no cap. don't do it the other way around or it's giving chaos πŸ’€
