STRUCT DRM_CONNECTOR_INFOFRAME_FUNCS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct drm_connector_infoframe_funcs — the InfoFrame-related functions, and yes this is the Kernel API Manual energy we're bringing today 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_connector_infoframe_funcs {
    int (*clear_infoframe)(struct drm_connector *connector);
    int (*write_infoframe)(struct drm_connector *connector, const u8
*buffer, size_t len);
 };

🌸 clear_infoframe

Okay so picture this: this callback gets invoked through drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_update_infoframes during a commit, and its whole job is to clear the infoframes into the hardware. Iconic behavior honestly. It gets called once for each frame type to be disabled — one at a time, no skipping, no grouping, periodt 💅

The clear_infoframe callback is mandatory for AVI and HDMI-VS InfoFrame types. Not optional. Not a vibe. Mandatory 🔥

Returns: 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise 😭

🦋 write_infoframe

This callback is invoked through drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_update_infoframes during a commit to program the infoframes into the hardware. It will be called for every updated infoframe type — so if you updated a bunch, bestie, it's showing up for each one 👑

The write_infoframe callback is mandatory for AVI and HDMI-VS InfoFrame types. Same deal as above, no cap 💜

Returns: 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise 😭

ok that's the whole page bestie, go read your infoframes 💀✨

And that's a wrap! This came straight out of ./include/drm, dated October 2026, and it's all part of the Kernel API Manual — slay, go touch some hardware 🌸💖🎀
