ENUM IWL_FW_DBG_TRIGGER(9)

✨ enum iwl_fw_dbg_trigger ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the enum iwl_fw_dbg_trigger(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is literally the master list of triggers available — like, all the reasons the iwlwifi firmware-and-driver situation might go "hey, dump the logs, something's happening" 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum iwl_fw_dbg_trigger {
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_INVALID ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_USER ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_FW_ASSERT ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MISSED_BEACONS ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_CHANNEL_SWITCH ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_FW_NOTIF ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MLME ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_STATS ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_RSSI ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TXQ_TIMERS ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TIME_EVENT ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_BA ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TX_LATENCY ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TDLS ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TX_STATUS ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_ALIVE_TIMEOUT ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_DRIVER ,
    FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MAX

};

that's the whole lineup, no cap 👑

💅 Constants 💅

okay so here's every single one of them, one by one, no skipping fr fr 🫶

• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_INVALID — the invalid trigger value 🙈 literally the "this means nothing" placeholder.
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_USER — trigger log collection by user. ⭐ careful bestie, this one's special: it should not be defined as a trigger to the driver, but instead it's a value the driver should set to indicate that the trigger was initiated by the user. iykyk 💖
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_FW_ASSERT — trigger log collection when the firmware asserts 💀 (yes, the dramatic one).
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MISSED_BEACONS — trigger log collection when beacons are missed. 🦋
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_CHANNEL_SWITCH — trigger log collection upon channel switch. 🔥
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_FW_NOTIF — trigger log collection when the firmware sends a command response or a notification. ✨
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MLME — trigger log collection upon MLME event. 🌸
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_STATS — trigger log collection upon statistics threshold. 🍓
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_RSSI — trigger log collection when the rssi of the beacon goes below a threshold. 😭 signal said bye.
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TXQ_TIMERS — configures the timers for the Tx queue hang detection. ⏱️
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TIME_EVENT — trigger log collection upon time events related events. 🎀
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_BA — trigger log collection upon BlockAck related events. 🌈
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TX_LATENCY — trigger log collection when the tx latency goes above a threshold. 🔥 slow is a vibe, just not this one.
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TDLS — trigger log collection upon TDLS related events. 🧚
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_TX_STATUS — trigger log collection upon tx status when the firmware sends a tx reply. 💜
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_ALIVE_TIMEOUT — trigger log collection if alive flow timeouts 💀
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_DRIVER — trigger log collection upon a flow failure in the driver. 🙈
• FW_DBG_TRIGGER_MAX — beyond triggers, number for sizing arrays etc. 👑 the sentinel, the final boss, the "count how many we got" girlie.

quick note bestie: FW_DBG_TRIGGER_USER is not a real trigger handed to the driver — it's the value the driver sets to say "a human did this." don't mix that up 💅
