qed_dbg_grc...ump_buf_size(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qed_dbg_grc_get_dump_buf_size 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one very specific little function. let me tell you everything, no gatekeeping 💖

✨ NAME ✨

qed_dbg_grc_get_dump_buf_size — literally just tells you the required buffer size for a GRC Dump. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like, three whole arguments. she's low maintenance 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • p_hwfn — HW device data. the hardware's whole little personality file, basically 💅
  • p_ptt — Ptt window used for writing the registers. this is the window she uses to write registers, iykyk ✍️
  • buf_size — (OUT) required buffer size (in dwords, periodt) for the GRC Dump data. it's an OUT param so she's writing back to you, not reading from you 🫶
fr fr keep the (OUT) and the dwords in mind — the units matter, bestie, don't come back with bytes 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐

so it returns an error if this one thing holds:

  • The version wasn't set 🙈

Otherwise? returns ok. that's the whole deal. slay 💅✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay this is the part where the page goes full main character and name-drops the entire friend group. every single one, no cap:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dbg_hsi.h (that's the header file bestie, go read it) plus:

like… the whole squad showed up. iconic behavior honestly 👑🔥

and that's the page!! 🧚💖 this little cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed, and the version/date stamp on her is October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, we don't question it 💀✨ bye bestie, go size some buffers 🫶🌸
