STRUCT IWL_FW_INI_SPECIAL_DEVICE_MEMORY(9)

💅 struct iwl_fw_ini_special_device_memory(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is literally a whole manual page about one struct and no cap it's kinda iconic of the kernel to do that. Buckle up, this one's short and sweet 🍓

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_fw_ini_special_device_memory — special device memory 🫶

like, that's the whole name. special device memory. it's giving "the struct said it itself" 💀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_fw_ini_special_device_memory {
    struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_header header;
    __le16 type;
    __le16 version;
    u8 data[];
};

look at her. four fields. flawless. the way that data[] is a flexible array member and just? vibes? 👑

---

🎀 Members 🎀

so here's the cast, one by one, main character energy each:

• header — header of the region 🧚
• type — type of special memory (yes, the type of special memory, that's the whole description, we're not overthinking it) 💅
• version — struct special memory version — the version for this special memory situation ⭐
• data — data of memory ranges in this region, see struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range 🔥 — so lowkey go read that one too, iykyk
