💅 batadv_tt_check_roam_count(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is literally all about batadv_tt_check_roam_count, and it's a whole vibe. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_check_roam_count — check if a client has roamed too frequently 🦋

no fr, that's the whole job. this little icon keeps an eye on whether your client is being a serial roamer.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool batadv_tt_check_roam_count (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , u8
*client , u16 vid );

notice the return type is bool — yes ma'am, it's a yes-or-no girlie 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. this is the main character holding literally all the mesh interface info 👑
  • client — mac address of the roaming client. the one that's out here wandering 🚶‍♀️
  • vid — VLAN identifier. gotta know which VLAN we're talking about, obviously 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way that this works is — this function checks whether the client already reached the maximum number of possible roaming phases. like, has this client roamed SO much that it's hit the cap? 😭

and if that's the case, then the ROAMING_ADV will not be sent. periodt. no more roaming advertisement for you, bestie.

lowkey this is the "you've had enough turns on the swings" of the mesh world. the vibe check has been failed and the ROAMING_ADV stays home 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • true — if the ROAMING_ADV can be sent 🎉
  • false — otherwise 💀

like... it's giving binary. it's giving yes or no. no in-between iykyk.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🧚 this gem comes straight out of ./net/batman-adv and the version/date stamp on this one is October 2026 — so mark your calendar, mwah 💋 slay, go read some more kernel docs, ily, bye 👑✨
