πŸ’… EEH_POSSIBLE_ERROR(9) 🫢

okay so welcome to the EEH_POSSIBLE_ERROR(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual β€” yes bestie, we're in kernel land today and it's honestly iconic ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

EEH_POSSIBLE_ERROR β€” test for possible MMIO failure.

like, that's the whole vibe. it checks if something might have gone wrong with MMIO. no cap πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

EEH_POSSIBLE_ERROR (val , type );

that's it. two args, look at her go πŸŽ€


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • val β€” -- undescribed -- 😭 the docs literally have nothing for this one. not me being handed a mystery box. it's giving "figure it out yourself, bestie" πŸ™ˆ
  • type β€” -- undescribed -- πŸ’€ same energy. absolutely no description provided. the manpage said "no thoughts, head empty" and honestly? relatable.
fr fr, both of these are marked -- undescribed -- in the source. i'm not hiding anything from you, that's just what it says πŸ‘‘

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” if this macro yields TRUE, then the caller relays to eeh_check_failure, which goes and does further tests out of line. like it steps aside to do the extra detective work πŸ”βœ¨

so the macro is basically the vibe check, and eeh_check_failure is the full investigation. main character energy all around πŸ‘‘
