πŸ’… amd76x_process_error_info

okay bestie, so this one is from the Kernel API Manual β€” yes we're reading kernel docs now, we contain multitudes πŸ’–. It's a function called amd76x_process_error_info, and honestly? the name kinda eats. It's the error check girlie. πŸ”₯


✨ NAME ✨

amd76x_process_error_info β€” Error check πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int amd76x_process_error_info (struct mem_ctl_info *mci , struct
       amd76x_error_info *info , int handle_errors );

that's the whole signature, no cap. three args, returns an int, periodt. ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • mci β€” the memory controller, obvi. it's a struct mem_ctl_info * and it's the main character here πŸ‘‘
  • info β€” the information we fetched earlier from the chip, lowkey a lil souvenir from the hardware 🫢
  • handle_errors β€” the vibe check flag: 1 if we should actually do recovery, 0 if we're just looking πŸ‘€

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she do? she processes the chip state and decides whether an error has occurred. that's it, that's the job. πŸ’…

and a return of 1 means an error happened β€” not me being dramatic, that's literally the contract 😭

also, if handle_errors is true, she attempts to handle and clean up after the error. like a good hostess who cleans up after the party. 🧹✨

fr fr: return 1 = error detected. and recovery only kicks in when handle_errors is true. don't forget it πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

the whole squad, honestly. go read all of them. 🌈
