qed_get_fw_...lts_buf_size(9)

💅 qed_get_fw_asserts_results_buf_size(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual edition ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual section of the kernel docs 🎀 — this one's about qed_get_fw_asserts_results_buf_size, which ngl sounds like a keyboard smash but it's literally just a "how big does my buffer need to be" helper. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

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

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum dbg_status qed_get_fw_asserts_results_buf_size (struct qed_hwfn
*p_hwfn , u32 *dump_buf , u32 num_dumped_dwords , u32 *results_buf_size
);

returns an enum dbg_status, periodt 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• p_hwfn — HW device data. the main character struct, the hardware's whole vibe check 🖥️✨
• dump_buf — FW Asserts dump buffer. this is where the dumped stuff lives 📦
• num_dumped_dwords — number of dwords that were dumped. girl math but with dwords, iykyk 🔢
• results_buf_size — (OUT) required buffer size (in bytes) for the parsed results. note the (OUT) — this one gets filled in by the function, she's the output queen 👑💖

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

error if the parsing fails, ok otherwise. no in-between, it's giving binary energy fr fr 💀✅
