STRUCT IWL_FW_ERROR_DUMP_RB(9)
π 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 π (yes that grammar is the original's, and yes we're respecting it, no cap).
β¨ NAME β¨
struct iwl_fw_error_dump_rb β the content of an Receive Buffer π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
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 π«Ά
πΈ Members πΈ
indexβ the index of the Receive Buffer in the Rx queue π₯ like, which RB are we even talking about? this tells you.rxqβ the RB's Rx queue π every buffer belongs to a queue, and this is her queue.reservedβ reserved π nothing to see here, it's literally just reserved, move along bestie.dataβ the content of the Receive Buffer π the actual payload!! the main character of this whole struct, fr fr. it's au8array with no size in brackets, so it's flexible β iconic.
π SEE ALSO π
okay this is the part where the whole friend group shows up, and I'm not skipping a single one, so buckle up π
first, the home base β this page lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/error-dump.h π (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 π 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 π§
and that's the page, bestie! π 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 π
