batadv_tt_local_set_pending(9)

💅 batadv_tt_local_set_pending(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_tt_local_set_pending page from the kernel API manual 🎀 this is a lil function from the batman-adv translation-table world, and honestly? it's giving "hold my spot, I'm not leaving yet" energy. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_local_set_pending — mark a local TT entry as pending removal 🌸

Like, the entry's not gone gone. It's just... on notice. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_tt_local_set_pending (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
struct batadv_tt_local_entry *tt_local_entry , u16 flags , const char *message
);

no cap, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, bestie, don't get creative 😌

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• bat_priv — the bat priv holding all the mesh interface information 🫶 this is the main-character struct, everything else lives inside it.
• tt_local_entry — the local TT entry you're about to mark 💖 this is the one getting the pending-removal makeover.
• flags — the TT change flags to announce together with the pending removal 🎀 so the whole mesh knows what's up.
• message — a debug message describing the reason for the change ⭐ like a lil caption on the post. keep it honest.

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so what actually happens 👀 — you schedule the TT change announcement, and you set BATADV_TT_CLIENT_PENDING on the entry. that's the whole vibe.

but here's the part that matters, bestie: the entry is kept in the local table until the next TTVN increment 🔥 so that a consistency-check response can still be answered. like, it's not ghosting the table yet — it's staying put so it can still reply when someone comes asking. iconic behavior tbh.

lowkey important: don't assume the entry is yeeted the moment you call this. it literally isn't. it stays until that TTVN increment, fr fr 🙈
