batadv_mcas...ant_all_ipv6(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

This is the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv6 — the header/footer styles it as batadv_mcas...ant_all_ipv6(9), and lowkey that ellipsis is doing cardio 💅.

batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv6 — forward to nodes with want-all-ipv6. Periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv6 (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
       struct sk_buff *skb , unsigned short vid );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information.
• skb — The multicast packet to transmit.
• vid — the vlan identifier.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Sends copies of a frame with multicast destination to any node with a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set. A transmission is performed via a batman-adv unicast packet for each such destination node.

It’s giving “one unicast packet per flagged destination node,” and honestly? Iconic. 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

NET_XMIT_DROP on memory allocation failure, NET_XMIT_SUCCESS otherwise.

So if memory allocation is not slaying, you get NET_XMIT_DROP; otherwise it’s NET_XMIT_SUCCESS. Simple as that, bestie.
