💅 batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket — the batadv_bla_..._dump_bucket(9) glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — kernel internals, iykyk, that's where the real ones live 😤✨ This one's called batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket(9) and honestly the name alone is giving "my parents named me after the family router" 💀 but she's iconic, let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket — dump one bucket of the backbone table to a netlink socket 🫗💖

Like, one bucket. Not the whole table. One. Bucket. She's a specialist, she's booked and busy, she does her one little job and she does it flawlessly. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket (struct sk_buff *msg , u32 portid ,
struct netlink_callback *cb , struct batadv_hard_iface *primary_if ,
struct batadv_hashtable *hash , unsigned int bucket , int *idx_skip );

seven arguments bestie. SEVEN. it's giving "group project where everyone showed up" 😭 but it works, okurrr 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the buffer for the message 🧺 like the cute little tote bag the message goes in, no cap
  • portid — netlink port 🔌 the actual port, yes really, that's the whole thing
  • cb — Control block containing additional options 🎛️ the extra settings live in here, she's got layers
  • primary_if — primary interface 🦋 the main-character interface, the main character energy of interfaces, honestly
  • hash — hash to dump 🗂️ which hash we're dumping, because a dump needs a hash, obviously
  • bucket — bucket index to dump 🪣 the exact bucket index, so she knows which one of the buckets to serve up
  • idx_skip — How many entries to skip 🙈 literally how many entries to skip, that's it, that's the vibe

👑 RETURN 👑

always 0. 💀

that's it. always zero. she does not have a bad day, she does not have a plot twist, she returns 0 and moves on with her life. slay I guess ✨🫶
