qed_dbg_alloc_user_data(9)

💖 qed_dbg_alloc_user_data — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for qed_dbg_alloc_user_data ✨ no cap, this one is short but she's iconic, and yes we're reading the whole thing together 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_dbg_alloc_user_data — literally just allocates user debug data 💅 that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum dbg_status qed_dbg_alloc_user_data (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , void
**user_data_ptr );

that's it, that's the whole signature 🔥 copy it exactly, don't get cute with it, the compiler is watching 😭

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. like, the hardware's whole vibe check packet, hand it over 💜
• user_data_ptr — marked (OUT), which means the function writes back to it: it's a pointer to the allocated memory. so you pass in a spot and she fills it with the good stuff ✨

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns dbg_status — that's the status enum, that's your little report card, keep an eye on it 💖
