🦋 batadv_tp_list_find_sender_session(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for this lil lookup icon — no cap, it’s giving “find the right sender session in the global list” energy. Let’s get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_tp_list_find_sender_session — find the tp_vars sender session object in the global list. literally that’s the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. yes, all of it. 💖
  • dst — the other endpoint MAC address to look for. it’s the “who are we trying to match?” address. 🦋
  • session — session identifier. the session-y little key for the lookup. 🌸

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the function goes looking for a tp_vars object where dst matches as end_point and session matches as the tp meter session. when it finds that match, it returns it after having increment the refcounter — so the refcounter goes up before it hands the object over. 🔥

if there’s no match, it returns NULL. not found = NULL, bestie. that’s the rule. 💀

reminder: the refcounter increment is part of the deal here — don’t forget it, iykyk. 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

matching tp_vars object, or NULL when no tp_vars was found. simple, iconic, periodt. 👑
