okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's about the kernel, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_mcast_forw_push_tt — push originators with interest through TT 🌈

like, the whole vibe of this function is "hey, who actually wants this multicast packet? let's go find out and push them on board" — you'll see 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool batadv_mcast_forw_push_tt (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct
sk_buff *skb , unsigned short vid , unsigned short *num_dests , unsigned
short *tvlv_len );

it returns a bool, no cap 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 💜 like, this is the main character struct, it's holding literally everything about the mesh interface
  • skb — the skb to push the destination addresses onto 📦 this is the packet getting all the new addresses yeeted onto it
  • vid — the vlan identifier 🏷️ yep, the vlan id, that's the one
  • num_dests — a pointer to store the number of pushed addresses in 🔢 so after this runs, that's where the count lives
  • tvlv_len — stores the amount of currently pushed TVLV bytes 📏 key word currently, iykyk

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so here's the whole thing, no gatekeeping 💅

Push the MAC addresses of all originators which have indicated interest in this multicast packet through the translation table onto the given skb.

that's it, that's the whole function 🎯 it goes through the translation table (TT, bestie, that's the TT in the name 😌), finds every originator that was like "yes I want this multicast packet", and pushes their MAC addresses onto the skb you handed it. king behavior honestly 👑

🔥 RETURN 🔥

true on success, false otherwise 💀

that's it. that's the return. binary queen 👑
