💅 vmw_du_plane_destroy_state

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a function page, and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's a cleanup girlie. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_du_plane_destroy_state — literally just destroy the plane state, that's it, that's the whole job 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_du_plane_destroy_state (struct drm_plane *plane , struct
       drm_plane_state *state );

no cap, that's the signature. she takes two things and returns approximately nothing (void, icon behaviour 👑).

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • plane — the DRM plane. yes, that plane. the main character 💅
  • state — the state object that's getting destroyed. bye bestie, you served your purpose 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what she does is: she destroys the plane state for the specified plane — and not just part of it, okay? both the common state and the vmw-specific state. the whole thing. full send. 🔥

like, it's giving spring cleaning but for memory. the plane you point at gets its state torn down, common bits and vmware-flavoured bits together, no crumbs left behind 🙈

ngl it's a destroy function, so don't go expecting her to be gentle — that's the assignment and she ate 💀✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

she lives in the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_kms.c 💖 — and here's her whole friend group, all of them, in order, because we don't skip anyone in this house 🫶
