💖 batadv_is_or...ode_eligible(9) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_is_orig_node_eligible — check whether a node can be a DHT candidate.

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the title up top is batadv_is_or...ode_eligible(9) — but the actual function bestie is batadv_is_orig_node_eligible. It’s giving “can this node be a DHT candidate?” energy, and we’re here for it 💅✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool batadv_is_orig_node_eligible (struct batadv_dat_candidate *res ,
int select , batadv_dat_addr_t tmp_max , batadv_dat_addr_t max ,
batadv_dat_addr_t last_max , struct batadv_orig_node *candidate , struct
batadv_orig_node *max_orig_node );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• res — the array with the already selected candidates. it’s the lil roster you’ve already built, bestie 🫶
• select — number of already selected candidates. literally the count of who’s already made the cut ✨
• tmp_max — address of the currently evaluated node. the address of the node we’re looking at right now 👀
• max — current round max address. this round’s maximum address, no cap 🌈
• last_max — address of the last selected candidate. the address of the candidate who got picked last time 🎀
• candidate — orig_node under evaluation. the node we’re currently evaluating, periodt 🦋
• max_orig_node — last selected candidate. the candidate who was selected last 🔥

---

💅 RETURN 💅

true if the node has been elected as next candidate — or false otherwise. that’s the whole vibe check 💖
