💅 batadv_purge_orig(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_purge_orig(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_purge_orig — the periodic worker that goes around purging stale originator entries 🧹💀 like it's doing a closet clean-out on a schedule, and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_purge_orig (struct work_struct *work );

literally one argument, no drama, no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• work — delayed work that's embedded right up in the bat_priv 🫶 that's it, that's the whole argument, and yes she's a struct work_struct *.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this thing invokes batadv_purge_orig_ref to drop the stale originators 🗑️✨ and then it reschedules its next run after BATADV_ORIG_WORK_PERIOD milliseconds ⏰ like a main character who's already planning her next appearance. no cap, that's the whole bit.

bestie note: the reschedule is part of the deal — it's a periodic worker, so it keeps coming back. BATADV_ORIG_WORK_PERIOD is the number of milliseconds it waits before the next round 👑
