ice_read_sr_area_size(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ice_read_sr_area_size(9) — a Kernel API Manual page, and it's literally about reading an area size from a Shadow RAM word ✨💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_read_sr_area_size (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 offset , u32 *size );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🧚
• offset — the word offset of the Shadow RAM to read 🔥
• size — size value read from the Shadow RAM 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically: it reads the given Shadow RAM word and converts it into an area size value specified in bytes ✨. This function assumes the specified offset is a valid area size word — like, don't come for it with a random invalid offset, okay? 👀

Each area size word is specified in 4KB sector units, and this function reports the size in bytes — intended for flat NVM reads 🌈🦋
