amd76x_get_error_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 amd76x_get_error_info — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the function-call girlies) and it's genuinely so straightforward you're gonna slay it. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

amd76x_get_error_info — fetch error information. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she fetches, she reports, she leaves. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void amd76x_get_error_info (struct mem_ctl_info *mci , struct
amd76x_error_info *info );

literally just call her with two things and she handles the rest 💖

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • mci — the Memory controller 💜 like, the whole memory controller struct, that's what you're handing her
  • info — Info to fill in 🫶 this is the struct she's gonna populate for you. she does the writing, you do the reading. iconic division of labor

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Fetch and store the AMD76x ECC status 🔥 that's the job, that's the assignment, she ate.

then — and this is the important part, don't skip it — she clears the pending status on the chip so that further errors will be reported ⭐ like, yes bestie, clear it out so the next batch of tea can actually get through. if you leave that pending bit sitting there it's giving "read receipts off" and no new errors show up. not the move. 💅🦋

so: fetch it, store it, wipe the pending status on the chip. three steps, zero drama. periodt 🌸
