get_ecc_state(9)

🦋 get_ecc_state 🦋

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual — section 9, yes — and today's main character is get_ecc_state. She returns the controller ECC enable/disable status, and the way she does it is lowkey iconic. Let's get into the lore. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

get_ecc_state — returns the controller ECC enable/disable status. That's the whole name, no cap. She ate. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool get_ecc_state (void __iomem *base );

That's the signature, bestie. bool return type, one void __iomem * argument. Keep the spacing exactly like that — it's part of the vibe. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• base — the DDR memory controller base address. That's the base address of the DDR memory controller, and that's what you pass in. Simple. ✨

---

📖 DESCRIPTION 📖

Okay so the assignment: get_ecc_state gets the ECC enable/disable status for the controller. That's literally it. She fetches the status, you get the tea. Not me being obsessed with a one-line function, but here we are. ☕

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

She returns a ECC status boolean — i.e. true/false, which means enabled/disabled. So true = enabled, false = disabled. Both are valid booleans, both are valid vibes. 🌈
