vmw_kms_check_implicit(9)

💖 vmw_kms_check_implicit — the vibe check for your display units 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_kms_check_implicit(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little function with main character energy that makes sure all your implicit display units are literally scanning out from the same framebuffer after the new state gets committed. no cap, it's the final vibe check before everything locks in. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vmw_kms_check_implicit (struct drm_device *dev , struct
       drm_atomic_commit *state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the drm_device. it's the whole device situation, the main character of the show 💅
• state — the new state that's getting checked. this is the glow-up we're all here to verify 🌸

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• Zero — slay, success, everything's iconic 👑
• -EINVAL — bestie no, the state is invalid 😭
• -EDEADLK — the modeset locking needs to be rerun, not me having to explain this again 🙈
