qed_dbg_fw_asserts_dump(9)

💅 qed_dbg_fw_asserts_dump(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: we're in the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is qed_dbg_fw_asserts_dump. yes it's a long name, no i will not be shortening it, it's iconic like that ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_dbg_fw_asserts_dump — reads the FW Asserts and writes the results into the specified buffer. that's it. that's the whole job. she reads, she writes, she leaves 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum dbg_status qed_dbg_fw_asserts_dump (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn ,
struct qed_ptt *p_ptt , u32 *dump_buf , u32 buf_size_in_dwords , u32
*num_dumped_dwords );

not me making you read five whole arguments on one line 😭 it's giving "signature that ate". anyway. yes. all five are required, no cap.

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• p_hwfn — HW device data. the hardware's whole personality, basically 🫶
• p_ptt — ptt window used for writing the registers. lowkey the little doorway she uses to poke the registers ✨
• dump_buf — pointer to write the FW Asserts data into. this is where the tea gets spilled 🍓
• buf_size_in_dwords — size of the specified buffer in dwords. yes, dwords. not bytes, bestie. dwords. do not come for me, i don't make the rules 💀
• num_dumped_dwords — (OUT) number of dumped dwords. capital OUT, she's an output param, she tells you how much she actually dumped 💅

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

she returns an error if one of the following holds:

• the version wasn't set 🙈
• the specified buffer is too small 😭

otherwise? returns ok. that's the slay. that's the happy path. periodt 🌈

heads up bestie: if your buffer is too small she's not gonna squeeze it in for you — she returns an error. size your buffer, queen 👑
