STRUCT IWL_FW_MON_REGS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct iwl_fw_mon_regs(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes we're in the big-kid section, no cap πŸŽ€ today's main character is struct iwl_fw_mon_regs, and honestly? it's giving "tiny but crucial." let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_fw_mon_regs β€” the FW monitor registers, aka the register squad for firmware monitoring πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct iwl_fw_mon_regs {
    struct iwl_fw_mon_reg write_ptr;
    struct iwl_fw_mon_reg cycle_cnt;
    struct iwl_fw_mon_reg cur_frag;
 };

like, look at her. three members, all of type struct iwl_fw_mon_reg, all living their best life in one little bundle. it's a vibe πŸ’…


🌈 Members 🌈

okay so here's the breakdown of every single member, because we do NOT skip anybody in this house 🫢

  • write_ptr β€” the write pointer register. that's it, that's the whole job πŸ’–
  • cycle_cnt β€” the cycle count register. she's counting cycles, obviously πŸ”₯
  • cur_frag β€” the current fragment in use. literally the "which frag are we on rn" field 🌸
ngl, this struct is short and sweet β€” but do NOT sleep on it, every member is a struct iwl_fw_mon_reg and that's load-bearing information, bestie 😭

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

go read these next, i'm obsessed with how much lore is here ✨

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-config.h β€” the source file, iykyk πŸ’œ
  • enum iwl_nvm_type(9)
  • struct iwl_fw_mon_reg(9)
  • struct iwl_family_base_params(9)
  • struct iwl_tt_params(9)
  • struct iwl_mac_cfg(9)
  • struct iwl_rf_cfg(9)

like, the whole friend group shows up. we love a cross-reference moment πŸ‘‘
