STRUCT IWL_CONTEXT_INFO(9)

✨ struct iwl_context_info(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the struct iwl_context_info page, and it's literally the blueprint for the device INIT configuration. like, the whole "hi bestie, here's how we're setting up" packet for Intel wireless hardware. buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME

struct iwl_context_info — device INIT configuration 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS

struct iwl_context_info {
    struct iwl_context_info_version version;
    struct iwl_context_info_control control;
    __le64 reserved0;
    struct iwl_context_info_rbd_cfg rbd_cfg;
    struct iwl_context_info_hcmd_cfg hcmd_cfg;
    __le32 reserved1[4];
    struct iwl_context_info_dump_cfg dump_cfg;
    struct iwl_context_info_early_dbg_cfg edbg_cfg;
    struct iwl_context_info_pnvm_cfg pnvm_cfg;
    __le32 reserved2[16];
    struct iwl_context_info_dram_nonfseq dram;
    __le32 reserved3[16];
 };

like, that's the whole layout, no cap 🔥 every field in order, exactly as the kernel wants it.

👑 Members

• version — the version info for the context info and the HW. it's giving "hello, what are we working with" 🌈
• control — the control flags of the FH configurations. the main character of the flags, honestly 💅
• reserved0 — (reserved) 🙈 nothing to see here, bestie, move along
• rbd_cfg — the default RX queue configuration. your receive queue's default fit 🎀
• hcmd_cfg — the command queue configuration. yes queen, tell the commands where to line up 👑
• reserved1 — (reserved) 💀
• dump_cfg — the core dump data. for when things go sideways and we need the receipts 😭
• edbg_cfg — the early debug configuration. debugging but make it early ✨
• pnvm_cfg — the platform nvm configuration. platform-level nvm vibes, lowkey essential 🍓
• reserved2 — (reserved) 🫶
• dram — the firmware image addresses in DRAM. this is where the firmware actually lives, fr fr 🔥
• reserved3 — (reserved) 🌸

ngl bestie, those reserved fields are not for you. don't touch them, don't fill them, just let them be. respect the padding 🙈
