okay so real talk: this is the batadv_tt_ad...global_entry(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it lives in the kernel file ./net/batman-adv/translation-table.c. it's a tiny function with a big job and i'm obsessed. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_add_temporary_global_entry — Add temporary entry to global TT 🦋

like, that's the whole pitch. it adds a temporary entry to the global translation table. no cap, that's the name and the whole vibe.

bool batadv_tt_add_temporary_global_entry (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv
, struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node , const unsigned char *addr ,
unsigned short vid );

she returns a bool, she takes four args, she's booked and busy 💖

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

okay so the squad walks in, four deep:

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 👑 this is the main character holding literally all the context.
  • orig_node — the orig node that the temporary entry should be associated with 🫶 like, this is who the new entry is gonna be linked to, fr fr.
  • addr — the mac address of the client 🎀 yes, that client. the one we're adding.
  • vid — the VLAN id of the new temporary global translation table 🌈 lowkey important, don't skip her.

⭐ RETURN ⭐
