ENUM IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_POLICY(9)

👑 enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_policy 👑

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_policy — yes that's a whole lot of name, but it's giving main character energy so we move 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_policy — literally decides how to handle a dump based on which flags are enabled 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

so this is the whole little enum, copy it exactly bestie:

enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_policy {
    IWL_FW_INI_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_NO_LIMIT ,
    IWL_FW_INI_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_MAX_LIMIT_600KB ,
    IWL_FW_IWL_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_MAX_LIMIT_5MB ,
    IWL_FW_IWL_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_BEFORE_RESET

};

---

🌸 Constants 🌸

okay so there's four of them and each one has a whole personality:

• IWL_FW_INI_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_NO_LIMIT — the OS has no limit of dump size, go absolutely feral, no cap 💀
• IWL_FW_INI_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_MAX_LIMIT_600KB — mini dump, only the 600KB region gets dumped, tiny but mighty 🧚
• IWL_FW_IWL_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_MAX_LIMIT_5MB — mini dump, 5MB size dump, a lil more room to breathe ✨
• IWL_FW_IWL_DEBUG_DUMP_POLICY_BEFORE_RESET — dump this region before the reset handshake happens (if it was requested by IWL_FW_INI_APPLY_POLICY_SPLIT_DUMP_RESET), like get the receipts first 🫶
