💅 batadv_tt_purge(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so this is batadv_tt_purge from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly bestie, she's the little cleanup fairy of batman-adv and I'm obsessed 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_purge — the periodic worker that keeps the translation table from turning into a hoarder's basement 🧹💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_tt_purge (struct work_struct *work );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • work — the delayed work that's embedded in the per-mesh-interface TT state 💫 like she literally lives inside the mesh interface's TT state, that's her whole address

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this is the periodic worker, and her job is maintenance, no cap. She purges the timed-out entries from both the local TT and the global TT — expired stuff? gone. Then she drops the stale TT requests and the roaming clients too, because we do NOT keep those around 💀

And then, icon that she is, she reschedules the next run after BATADV_TT_WORK_PERIOD milliseconds. Every BATADV_TT_WORK_PERIOD milliseconds she comes back. Relentless. Main character energy fr fr 👑
