__sta_info_flush(9)

💅 __sta_info_flush(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is a kernel API manual page, and today's main character is __sta_info_flush — the function that literally flushes matching STA entries out of the STA table. say bye 👋 to the stations, bestie.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__sta_info_flush — flush matching STA entries from the STA table 🧹✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int __sta_info_flush (struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata , bool vlans ,
int link_id , struct sta_info *do_not_flush_sta );

it returns an int, she takes four arguments, and yes that's the whole vibe 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• sdata — the sdata you want to remove all the stations from. that's the one, that's the target 🎯
• vlans — a bool. if the interface you passed is an AP interface, she also flushes the VLANs. if it's not an AP interface, well… she doesn't 💁‍♀️
• link_id — if it's given (>=0), only the STA entries using that link_id get removed. but if you pass -1, everything goes — all STA entries, removed, gone, periodt 🔥
• do_not_flush_sta — a station that shouldn't be flushed. protected icon behavior honestly 🫶 keep her safe

---

💖 RETURN 💖

the number of removed STA entries. that's the count of stations that got the boot 👑🔢

the kernel file is ./net/mac80211/sta_info.h, and she wants you to also check out these besties:

• enum ieee80211_sta_info_flags(9)
• struct tid_ampdu_tx(9)
• struct tid_ampdu_rx(9)
• struct sta_ampdu_mlme(9)
• struct ieee80211_fast_tx(9)

ngl the double-underscore prefix means this is the internal one, and sta_info_flush(9) is right there in SEE ALSO if you want the other flavor 👀

anyway that's the page!! this one lives in ./net/mac80211, it's from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026 — mwah, go flush some stations responsibly 💜🦋⭐
