💅 batadv_tp_re...sender_timer(9) 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and bestie, it's a tiny one but it matters, so let's get into it ✨

batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer — reschedules the sender timer 💫

Like, that's it. That's the whole job. It resets a timer. And it does it iconically.

void batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer (struct batadv_tp_sender *tp_vars );

Returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt 💀

tp_vars — the private TP meter data for this session 🫶 this is the little bundle of session state the function needs, and it's literally the only thing you hand it.

So what it actually does: it reschedules the timer using tp_vars->cc.rto as the delay 🌈

That's the whole vibe. cc.rto is the delay value, the timer gets rescheduled with it, done, slay 💅

Kernel file: ./net/batman-adv/tp_meter.c — that's where the whole TP meter family lives, iykyk 🧚

that's a whole friend group of functions, ngl. sender side, receiver side, ack handling, the whole cast 🎬

and that's the page!! 💖 brought to you by ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026 — mwah, go read your kernel source bestie, ily 🫶✨
