🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw — Remove backbone gateways after a timeout or immediately 💀✂️

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , int
now );

like, it returns void, it takes bat_priv and now, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 🌈 it's literally holding every mesh interface detail for you, main character energy fr fr
  • now — whether the whole hash shall be wiped now 🔥 it's the yes/no on "nuke the entire hash immediately"

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕: this function checks when we last heard from other nodes and removes them in case of a time out ⏰ — or, if now is set, it just cleans all backbone gws right then and there 🧹💖

no cap, now being set means "skip the waiting, wipe the whole hash immediately" — that's the whole personality of the flag 🫶
