qed_dbg_read_attn(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qed_dbg_read_attn — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you open up the Kernel API Manual, and this little icon is sitting there like 👑

✨ NAME ✨

qed_dbg_read_attn — literally reads the attention registers of whatever block and type you point at, then writes the results straight into the buffer you handed it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum dbg_status qed_dbg_read_attn (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt , enum block_id block , enum dbg_attn_type attn_type , bool clear_status , struct dbg_attn_block_result *results );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • p_hwfn — the HW device data. the main character struct fr fr 🫶
  • p_ptt — the Ptt window that gets used for writing the registers. yes bestie, that's its whole job 💅
  • block — Block ID. which block we're looking at, iykyk.
  • attn_type — Attention type. the flavor of attention, lowkey.
  • clear_status — tells it whether the attention status should be cleared or not. like, do we wipe the board or leave it 🧹
  • results — (OUT) pointer to write the read results into. this one's the output girlie, she gets filled in 🌈

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns an error if one of these holds:

  • The version wasn't set

Otherwise, it returns ok. slay ✨
