drm: Rename struct drm_atomic_state to drm_atomic_commit

2026-05-04T04:05:04+00:00

The KMS framework uses two slightly different definitions for the state concept. For a given object (plane, CRTC, encoder, etc., so drm_$OBJECT_state), the state is the entire state of that object. However, at the device level, drm_atomic_state refers to a state update for a limited number of objects. Thus, drm_atomic_state isn't the entire device state, but only the full state of some objects in that device. This has been an endless source of confusion and thus bugs. We can rename the drm_atomic_state structure to drm_atomic_commit to make it less confusing. This patch was created using: rg -l drm_atomic_state | \ xargs sed -i 's/drm_atomic_state/drm_atomic_commit/g; s/drm_atomic_commit_helper/drm_atomic_state_helper/g' mv drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_state_test.c drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_atomic_commit_test.c Acked-by: Simona Vetter Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Jani Nikula Reviewed-by: Luca Ceresoli Tested-by: Luca Ceresoli Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260427-drm-drm-atomic-update-v4-1-c0e713bfdf25@kernel.org

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

drm: include drm_print.h where needed

2025-10-31T08:34:52+00:00

There are a gazillion files that depend on drm_print.h being indirectly included via drm_buddy.h, drm_mm.h, or ttm/ttm_resource.h. In preparation for removing those includes, explicitly include drm_print.h where needed.

drm/vboxvideo: Switch to drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state()

2025-10-06T11:59:19+00:00

The vboxvideo atomic_check implementation uses the deprecated drm_atomic_get_existing_crtc_state() helper. This hook is called as part of the global atomic_check, thus before the states are swapped. The existing state thus points to the new state, and we can use drm_atomic_get_new_crtc_state() instead.

drm: remove driver date from struct drm_driver and all drivers

2024-12-05T10:35:42+00:00

We stopped using the driver initialized date in commit 7fb8af6798e8 ("drm: deprecate driver date") and (eventually) started returning "0" for drm_version ioctl instead. Finish the job, and remove the unused date member from struct drm_driver, its initialization from drivers, along with the common DRIVER_DATE macros. v2: Also update drivers/accel (kernel test robot) Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Acked-by: Alex Deucher Acked-by: Simon Ser Acked-by: Jeffrey Hugo Acked-by: Lucas De Marchi Acked-by: Dmitry Baryshkov # msm Reviewed-by: Thomas Zimmermann Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1f2bf2543aed270a06f6c707fd6ed1b78bf16712.1733322525.git.jani.nikula@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

DRM's aperture functions have long been implemented as helpers under drivers/video/ for use with fbdev. Avoid the DRM wrappers by calling the video functions directly.
