πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… hl_debugfs_set_state_dump β€” the kernel API manual, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so real talk, this one's from the Kernel API Manual (yes that's the manual name, we're fancy now ✨) and it's lowkey a tiny little function but it's doing something genuinely iconic: it registers a state dump and makes it accessible via debugfs. like, it's giving "backstage pass to the kernel" energy. no cap. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

hl_debugfs_set_state_dump β€” register state dump making it accessible via debugfs

literally that's it, that's the whole vibe. it registers, and then boom, debugfs can see it. periodt. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void hl_debugfs_set_state_dump (struct hl_device *hdev , char *data ,
       unsigned long length );

yes bestie, it returns void. nothing comes back. it's not about the return value, it's about the friends we made along the way 🫢


🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • hdev β€” pointer to the device structure. this is the main character right here πŸ‘‘
  • data β€” the actual dump data. the real content, the actual substance, the whole point πŸ™ˆ
  • length β€” the length of the data. because data doesn't know how big it is, bestie, somebody's gotta tell it 😭
