💅 batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet — checks if there is another OGM attached

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function in the batman-adv world. She's small, she's bool-returning, and she has exactly one job. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet — checks if there is another OGM attached 🦋

Like, literally that's the whole vibe. She peeks. She checks. She tells you if another OGM is riding along in there.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet (int buff_pos , int packet_len , const
struct batadv_ogm_packet *ogm_packet );

no cap, that's the whole signature. three args in, one bool out. icon behavior ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • buff_pos — current position in the skb 👀 like where you're at right now in the buffer
  • packet_len — total length of the skb 📏 the whole thing, not just your lil corner
  • ogm_packet — potential OGM in buffer 🫶 the maybe-OGM we're side-eyeing

👑 RETURN 👑

  • true — if there is enough space for another OGM 💀✨ slay, there's room
  • false — otherwise 🙈 nope, no room, not today

periodt. that's the entire return contract. no secret third thing.
