💅 batadv_dat_tvlv_ogm_handler_v1(9) — the one where we process incoming dat tvlv container

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this little page is all about one (1) very specific function in ./net/batman-adv/distributed-arp-table.c, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. she shows up, she handles a dat tvlv container, she leaves. no cap, that's the gig.

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_dat_tvlv_ogm_handler_v1 — process incoming dat tvlv container</p> 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_dat_tvlv_ogm_handler_v1 (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
struct batadv_orig_node *orig , u8 flags , void *tvlv_value , u16
tvlv_value_len );

like, she takes five (5) arguments, she returns void, and she is NOT here to give you feedback about it. periodt. 💀

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

okay so here's the whole cast, main character energy each and every one:

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 💖 this is the one who knows everything, the group chat admin of the mesh.
  • orig — the orig_node of the ogm 🧚 your origin node bestie.
  • flags — flags indicating the tvlv state (see batadv_tvlv_handler_flags) 🚩 like little status stickers on the packet, iykyk.
  • tvlv_value — tvlv buffer containing the gateway data 🌈 the actual payload, the good stuff.
  • tvlv_value_len — tvlv buffer length 📏 yes bestie we're counting the bytes, we always count the bytes.
ngl if you forget which argument is which, that's a vibe check you will fail. it's giving "read the list again" energy 🙈
