qed_dbg_idle...ump_buf_size(9)

💅 qed_dbg_idle_chk_get_dump_buf_size 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes it's giving ✨kernel✨, yes it's giving ✨C✨, but honestly? this one's a lil cutie. it lives in qed_dbg_idle...ump_buf_size(9) (the long name got truncated on the door, iconic behavior honestly 💀) and it's here to tell you how much buffer you need for idle check results. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_dbg_idle_chk_get_dump_buf_size — literally just returns the required buffer size for idle check results. she's a size-giver, a measurer, a "how many dwords do u need" queen 👑.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

look at her. three params, one enum return. no cap, that's it. 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. the hardware's whole little biography. main character energy fr fr 💖
• p_ptt — the Ptt window used for writing the registers. think of it as the lil doorway she uses to poke the registers 🚪✨
• buf_size — (OUT) required buffer size (in dwords) for the idle check data. she writes the answer right back out to you, in dwords — not bytes, bestie, dwords. don't @ me 😭

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns an error if one of the following holds:

• the version wasn't set 🙈

otherwise? returns ok. slay. periodt. 💅

lowkey important: that's the only error condition listed here. the version being unset is the whole vibe check that fails. everything else is ok city 🌈
