STRUCT IWL_FW_ERROR_DUMP_RB(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb(9) β€” the kernel API manual bestie

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb β€” the content of an Receive Buffer πŸŽ€ (yes that grammar is the original's, and yes we're respecting it, no cap).


✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb β€” the content of an Receive Buffer πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't touch:

struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb {
    __le32 index;
    __le32 rxq;
    __le32 reserved;
    u8 data[];
};

look at that lil struct. four fields, one of them is a flexible array, she's serving structure 🫢


🌸 Members 🌸

  • index β€” the index of the Receive Buffer in the Rx queue πŸ”₯ like, which RB are we even talking about? this tells you.
  • rxq β€” the RB's Rx queue πŸ‘‘ every buffer belongs to a queue, and this is her queue.
  • reserved β€” reserved πŸ™ˆ nothing to see here, it's literally just reserved, move along bestie.
  • data β€” the content of the Receive Buffer πŸ’€ the actual payload!! the main character of this whole struct, fr fr. it's a u8 array with no size in brackets, so it's flexible β€” iconic.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the whole friend group shows up, and I'm not skipping a single one, so buckle up πŸŽ€

first, the home base β€” this page lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/error-dump.h πŸ“ (iykyk).

and then, in the order the manual gives them:

  • enum iwl_fw_error_dump_type(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_data(9)
  • struct iwl_dump_file_name_info(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_file(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_txcmd(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_fifo(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_info(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_fw_mon(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_smem_cfg(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_prph(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_mem(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_data(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_dump_file_hdr(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_fifo_hdr(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_header(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_register(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_dump_cfg_name(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_err_table_dump(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_monitor_dump(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_ini_special_device_memory(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_paging(9)
  • iwl_fw_error_next_data(9)
  • enum iwl_fw_dbg_trigger(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_error_dump_trigger_desc(9)

that's the whole squad πŸ’œ every single one accounted for, no gatekeeping.


ngl if you got here looking for the Rx queue dump details, you're in the right place β€” but the real lore is spread across that whole SEE ALSO list, so go read the rest 🧚

and that's the page, bestie! πŸ“ this came from the kernel source tree at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (truncated like that in the original footer, and we're keeping it cute and truncated), stamped October 2026, and it's the struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb(9) page. mwah πŸ’…βœ¨
