💅 batadv_ring_buffer_avg — the kernel API glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to batadv_ring_buffer_avg(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little function but she's important, and I'm gonna walk you through her whole vibe, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_ring_buffer_avg — literally computes the average of all the non-zero values chillin' inside the given ring buffer 💖 like, she looks at your ring buffer, ignores the zeros (they're not invited to the party 🙈), and hands you back the average. iconic behavior.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u8 batadv_ring_buffer_avg (const u8 lq_recv[] );

that's it. that's the whole signature. short queen 👑 note the u8 return type and the const u8 array — copy it exactly, don't get creative with my girl's types fr fr.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • lq_recv — pointer to the ring buffer 💫 that's the one and only thing you hand her. just a pointer. she does the rest.

🦋 RETURN 🦋

the computed average value ✨ yep, that's the whole return story — she gives you back the average she calculated.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long, like she has a whole extended friend group, and every single one of them deserves a shoutout 💅 so here we go, no skipping, no cutting corners:

like... the way she knows everybody in bat_iv_ogm.c? main character energy, honestly 🧚✨

💜 real talk though bestie: the important bit is that she averages the non-zero entries only — zeros get filtered out before the math happens. that's the whole point of her, iykyk.

okay and finally, the boring-but-mandatory paperwork bit, but make it cute 🎀 this page comes from the source tree ./net/batman-adv and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future girlie knows what's up ⭐ bookmark her, she's a keeper 💖🦋🌸
