batadv_tt_req_node_new(9)

💅 batadv_tt_req_node_new(9)

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're in the big leagues bestie — and it's all about batadv_tt_req_node_new, which lowkey has main character energy because it searches and possibly creates a tt_req_node object. search AND create?? multitasking icon. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_tt_req_node * batadv_tt_req_node_new (struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv , struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node );

like, she takes two args and hands you back a pointer to a struct batadv_tt_req_node (or NULL, we'll get there, don't rush me 💀).

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• bat_priv — the bat priv, aka the thing holding all the mesh interface information. she's the whole vibe closet. every mesh interface detail lives in here. 🦋
• orig_node — the orig node that this request is being issued for. the one we're sliding into the group chat, basically.

---

💖 RETURN 💖

you get a pointer to the new tt_req_node struct — but ONLY if no request has already been issued for this orig_node. if a request has already gone out for it? you get NULL. no double-texting. no cap. 🙈

like… that's a lot of friends. she's not lonely, that's for sure. 👑

ngl bestie, no scary warnings on this one — just remember the NULL return isn't an error, it's her politely telling you a request already exists for that orig_node. 🫶

and that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 this sliver of lore lives in ./net/batman-adv, stamped October 2026, and yes it's part of the Kernel API Manual — periodt. ⭐🧚💜
