STRUCT IWL_ERROR_RESP(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iwl_error_resp(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

okay so this is the manpage for struct iwl_error_resp from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "your firmware is being messy and wrote it down." It's the FW error indication ( REPLY_ERROR = 0x2 ). That's the whole vibe 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_error_resp β€” FW error indication ( REPLY_ERROR = 0x2 )

yeah so it's literally the struct the firmware hands you when something went wrong and it wants you to know about it πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct iwl_error_resp {
    __le32 error_type;
    u8 cmd_id;
    u8 reserved1;
    __le16 bad_cmd_seq_num;
    __le32 error_service;
    __le64 timestamp;
 };

look at her. six fields. no notes. icon behavior πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • error_type β€” one of FW_ERR_*. that's it, that's the whole field bestie, it's an enum situation ✨
  • cmd_id β€” the command ID for which the error occurred. so like, which command fumbled πŸ‘€
  • reserved1 β€” reserved. don't touch, don't poke, don't ask questions πŸ™ˆ
  • bad_cmd_seq_num β€” sequence number of the erroneous command. yes the name is literally "bad command sequence number," the kernel woke up and chose honesty πŸ’€
  • error_service β€” which service created the error, applicable only if error_type = 2, otherwise 0. so if it's not a 2, it's a zero, no cap.
  • timestamp β€” TSF in usecs. microseconds, bestie, precision matters πŸ•

like, the whole friend group showed up. main character energy from the entire debug header fr fr πŸ‘‘


ok real talk, the naming on bad_cmd_seq_num is so unserious but it's doing exactly what it says on the tin. also do not mess with reserved1, that's not your business bestie πŸ’–
