batadv_tp_list_find_sender(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 batadv_tp_list_find_sender — like, the kernel API manual ✨

okay so bestie, you're looking at batadv_tp_list_find_sender, which lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, she's fancy 🎀). Buckle up, this one's short but she's important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_tp_list_find_sender — literally goes hunting for a sender tp_vars object in the global list 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_tp_sender * batadv_tp_list_find_sender (struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv , const u8 *dst );

no cap, that's the whole signature 💅

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • bat_priv — the bat priv that's holding all the mesh interface information 🫶 like the main character of the whole setup
  • dst — the other endpoint's MAC address, aka the one you're looking for 👀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the way this works: it looks for a tp_vars object that matches dst as its end_point, and once it finds her, it hands her back to you — but not before incrementing the refcounter 🔥 (gotta keep the refcount tidy, that's just good manners).

And if there's nothing matching? It returns NULL. Not found, bestie, nobody home 😭

🦋 RETURN 🦋

  • the matching tp_vars 💖
  • or NULL when no tp_vars with that dst was found 💀

ngl that's a lot of cross-references, but that's the tp_meter family for you — one big happy function family 🧚

kisses and see-ya-later, this page came from ./net/batman-adv in the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026 — and it's still batadv_tp_list_find_sender(9) at the end of the day, periodt 💅🍓
