qed_dbg_fw_a...ump_buf_size(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qed_dbg_fw_asserts_get_dump_buf_size — Kernel API Manual, section 9 ✨

okay bestie, listen up 🫶 this one lives in the kernel API manual (section 9, iykyk) and it's literally the little function that tells you how much room you're gonna need. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_dbg_fw_asserts_get_dump_buf_size — returns the required buffer size for FW Asserts results. that's it, that's the whole job 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum dbg_status qed_dbg_fw_asserts_get_dump_buf_size (struct qed_hwfn
*p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt , u32 *buf_size );

like, she takes three things and gives you back a enum dbg_status. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • p_hwfn — HW device data. the hardware's whole little identity card, basically 🪪
  • p_ptt — Ptt window used for writing the registers. that's the window she writes registers through, fr fr 🪟
  • buf_size — (OUT) Required buffer size (in dwords) for FW Asserts data. yes bestie, dwords, not bytes — read the units, don't embarrass us 😭 this is the OUT param so she fills it in for you 💫

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns an error if one of the following holds:

  • The version wasn't set.

otherwise? returns ok. slay 💅 that's the whole vibe check — no version, no dice.
