brcmf_p2p_run_escan(9)

💖 brcmf_p2p_run_escan 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving niche-but-iconic. we're talking about brcmf_p2p_run_escan — a whole entire function — and by the end of this you're gonna know her intimately. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

brcmf_p2p_run_escan — the escan callback for peer-to-peer. that's it, that's the vibe. she's the callback, she runs the escan, she does it for P2P. main character energy fr fr. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 brcmf_p2p_run_escan (struct brcmf_cfg80211_info *cfg , struct
brcmf_if *ifp , struct cfg80211_scan_request *request );

three arguments in, one s32 out. simple on the surface, but you know there's lore. 🦋

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• cfg — driver private data for the cfg80211 interface. it's the driver's own little diary of secrets. 🙈
• ifp — interface control. think of it as the little remote that controls the interface. 🎮
• request — the scan request, freshly handed over from cfg80211. she's the assignment, basically. 📝

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? okay so — brcmf_p2p_run_escan determines the P2P discovery state based on the scan request parameters, and then she validates the channels in the request. that's the whole job. state determination plus channel validation, and she ate. ⭐

literally: she looks at the request parameters to figure out where we are in the discovery state machine, then she gives those channels a good hard vibe check. 👑
