intel_modes...n_mask_early(9)

💅 NAME 💅

intel_modeset_pipes_in_mask_early — bestie, this one forces a full modeset on a whole set of pipes, no cap

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int intel_modeset_pipes_in_mask_early (struct intel_atomic_state *state
, const char *reason , u8 mask );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• state — the intel atomic state, aka the main character of this whole operation 💫
• reason — a lil string that says why we're doing the full modeset. receipts, basically 🧾
• mask — a mask of the pipes we're modesetting. yes queen, pick your pipes 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so — this function takes the pipes in mask, adds them to state, and then forces a full modeset on the enabled ones, all because of whatever you put in reason. it's giving "do it and here's the why" 😌

⚠️ timing check, bestie: this function can be called only before new plane states are computed. that's the vibe check it will not pass afterwards, fr fr.

it returns 0 in case of success, and a negative error code otherwise. so like, zero is the slay outcome, negative means something went sideways 😭
