💖 batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, we're being fancy today 👑

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract — cleaning up multicast listener announcements, no cap 🧹

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct
       hlist_head *mcast_list );

like literally that's the whole signature, she's a void function, she does the thing and doesn't report back 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bat_priv — the bat priv, which is holding all the mesh interface information 🦋
  • mcast_list — a list of addresses which should _not_ be removed. yeah, the not is doing heavy lifting here, respect it 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what she does is retract the announcement of any multicast listener from the translation table — except the ones that are listed in the given mcast_list. Those ones get to stay, main character energy only 💖

And if mcast_list is NULL? then all are retracted. all of them. every single one. gone 🫶

ngl, NULL here is the "clean slate" option — nothing is spared, bestie

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

🌸 okay that's the whole page, you ate that. this one lives in ./net/batman-adv and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future vibes ✨ go forth and retract responsibly bestie 💅🎀
