πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int nvme_get_log_boot_partition (int fd , bool rae , __u8 lsp , __u32 len , struct nvme_boot_partition *part );
like. one function. five lil arguments. we're gonna go through every single one, no skips, no skimming, periodt π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
fdβ the file descriptor of your nvme device. it's giving "here's my ticket, let me in" πraeβ Retain asynchronous events. yes ma'am, hold onto those events for me πlspβ the log specified field ofLID. it lives in a__u8, so keep it cute and small β¨lenβ the allocated size, minimumstruct nvme_boot_partition. don't be stingy with the buffer, bestie, that's the floor not the ceiling πpartβ user address to store the log page. this is where the boot partition log gets dropped off, main character energy only π
β RETURN β
so here's the vibe check on what comes back at you:
- the nvme command status if a response was received (peep
enum nvme_status_fieldfor the deets) π - or
-1witherrnoset otherwise π
like it either tells you what happened or it just throws a -1 at you and points at errno. classic.
fr fr, don't ignore that errno. it's not being dramatic, it's literally telling you what went wrong π
