qed_get_prot...lts_buf_size(9)

💅 qed_get_prot...lts_buf_size(9) 💅

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is qed_get_protection_override_results_buf_size 🌟 like yes the name is a whole mouthful, she's giving "my surname is the entire alphabet" energy, but she's actually so useful. Let's get into it ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

qed_get_protection_override_results_buf_size — literally just returns the required buffer size for protection override results (in bytes). that's it. that's her whole job. iconic. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

like, yes, she takes four things and gives you back a dbg_status. slay 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

so here's what you're feeding her, bestie, pls don't skip any of these:

• p_hwfn — HW device data. that's your hardware diva, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• dump_buf — Protection override dump buffer. the lil container holding all the dumped goodness 🎀
• num_dumped_dwords — Number of dwords that were dumped. yes, dwords, not words, not bytes — dwords. precision matters, ngl 💅
• results_buf_size — (OUT) required buffer size (in bytes) for the parsed results. note the OUT bestie, she's writing back to you, not reading from you 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Error if the parsing fails, ok otherwise. lowkey simple, highkey important 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is LONG, like she knows everyone at the party, but we're naming every single one because nobody gets left out on my watch 💀✨

aaaand that's the page!! this queen lives over in ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed and she's stamped October 2026 — so go forth, size those buffers, and remember: the vibe check is eternal, the dword count is exact 💖✨🍓
