qed_get_idl...lts_buf_size(9)

🌸 qed_get_idle_chk_results_buf_size(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the (9) section, that's the kernel-functions girlies) — and it's a tiny one, but she's important. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_get_idle_chk_results_buf_size — returns the required buffer size for idle check results (in bytes). literally that's her whole job 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

that's the whole signature, no cap — copy it exactly if you're writing code, i'm serious 🙈

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. like, the hardware's whole personality file 💅
• dump_buf — the idle check dump buffer. the raw receipts 🔥
• num_dumped_dwords — number of dwords that were dumped. count 'em, bestie 🧮
• results_buf_size — (OUT) required buffer size (in bytes) for the parsed results. note the OUT — this girl gets written to, she's not here to be read 😭 this is where the answer lands, so you know how much room to give the parsed stuff ✨

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

so the vibe check is: error if the parsing fails, ok otherwise. that's it. that's the return 💀

heads up bestie 💀 — the return is literally just "error if the parsing fails, ok otherwise". no extra lore, no secret behaviour. don't go inventing semantics, i'm watching 🫶
