[PATCH v7 12/16] drm/atomic: Allow filling a commit with pristine object states
From: Maxime Ripard
Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 06:36:59 EST
The upcoming DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_RESET flag will need to create an atomic
commit that brings the entire device back to a pristine state, as if
no configuration had ever been applied.
Create drm_atomic_commit_fill_with_defaults() which iterates over all
CRTCs, planes, connectors, and color operations in the device and
inserts a fresh default state for each one into the commit. This uses
the atomic_create_state() hooks rather than atomic_duplicate_state(),
since atomic_create_state() provides exactly this pristine state on a
per-object basis.

+ * drm_atomic_commit_fill_with_defaults - populate a commit with pristine states
+ * @file_priv: DRM file the reset was requested from, or NULL
+ * @commit: atomic commit to fill
+ *
+ * Iterate over all CRTCs, planes, connectors, and color operations in
+ * the device and insert a freshly created default state for each one
+ * into @commit. The states are created through the atomic_create_state()
+ * hooks, producing the same initial state the driver starts with rather
+ * than a copy of the current hardware state.
+ *
+ * If @file_priv is a lessee, only the CRTCs, planes and connectors part
+ * of its lease are reset, and the other ones are left untouched.
+ * @file_priv is optional: if NULL, it is considered to not hold any
+ * lease, and all objects are reset.
+ *
+ * The objects that are bound to the objects being reset are still added
+ * to the commit, with their current state: the CRTC a reset plane or
+ * connector is bound to, and the connectors bound to a reset CRTC. The
+ * atomic helpers require them to be part of the commit to update the
+ * CRTC state and the routing, and they would dereference a NULL state
+ * otherwise.
+ *
+ * In the default state, all objects are disabled: CRTCs are inactive,
+ * planes are disabled, and connectors are unbound. Driver-specific
+ * properties such as color pipeline settings or max_bpc may carry
+ * non-zero defaults appropriate for basic display output.
+ *
+ * The CRTC and plane states in the commit carry color_mgmt_changed set
+ * when the reset changes the color management properties compared to the
+ * current state, so that drivers reprogram the color management
+ * hardware.
+ *
+ * The connector states keep the encoder currently in use in their
+ * best_encoder field, like a duplicated state would, so that the atomic
+ * helpers can detect the commits that don't change the connector
+ * routing.
+ *
+ * This is meant to be used with the %DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_RESET flag, which
+ * needs to bring the device back to a known baseline before applying
+ * userspace property changes on top.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error code on failure.
