STRUCT ELM_ERRORVEC(9)
π NAME π
okay so, bestie, gather round β struct elm_errorvec is literally the error vector for elm. that's it, that's the vibe. it's giving "tiny struct, big job" π
so this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about struct elm_errorvec(9). buckle up π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the whole thing, no cap, exactly as it is:
struct elm_errorvec {
bool error_reported;
bool error_uncorrectable;
int error_count;
int error_loc[16];
};
look at her. iconic. four little members, all main character energy π
πΈ MEMBERS πΈ
okay let's break down each member one by one, no skipping, we do not skip in this house π«Ά
error_reportedβ this one's abool, and it gets settruefor vectors where an error is reported. so like, it's the "yep, something happened" flag β¨error_uncorrectableβ this one holds the number of uncorrectable errors. and yeah, the name is doing what it says on the tin β uncorrectable, bestie, we can't fix those π that one's abooltoo, so lowkey read that name carefully before you assume anything πerror_countβ anintthat's the number of correctable errors in the sector. cute, fixable, we love her πΈerror_locβ anintarray,error_loc[16], and it's the buffer for the error location. sixteen whole slots of location-holding realness π₯
ngl, just a heads-up:error_uncorrectableis declaredbooland its description says "number of uncorrectable errors" β that's exactly how the page reads it, so don't come for me, I'm just the messenger π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
go look at the kernel file, she's right here:
./include/linux/platform_data/elm.h
iykyk π
and that's the whole page, bestie!! π§ this one came from ./include/linux/platform_data and it's dated October 2026, and it's all about struct elm_errorvec(9) β go forth and read your error vectors, periodt βπ
