cfg80211_assoc_failure(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so this is cfg80211_assoc_failure — it's from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual this page lives in, bestie, folding it in up top like a good host) — and the whole vibe of this function is: notification of association failure. That's it. That's the job. It tells the world that an association attempt didn't work out 😭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the signature, and I'm giving it to you exactly as it is, no edits, no vibes-based rewriting of the code:

void cfg80211_assoc_failure (struct net_device *dev , struct
cfg80211_assoc_failure *data );

Notice the line break in there? Yeah. That's how it is. We respect it. 🫶

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

Two arguments, both certified load-bearing:

• dev — the network device. Like, the actual net device we're talking about here 💖
• data — the data describing the association failure. Yes, the struct is literally named after the function, that's just how it goes. It's the receipts for why the association flopped 🧾

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is the part where you need to lock in, because there are two facts here and both of them will get you if you skip them:

This function may sleep. Not "might", not "under some conditions" — it may sleep. Plan accordingly. 😴💀

And the second one:

The caller must hold the corresponding wdev's mutex. Not a mutex. Not some mutex nearby. The corresponding wdev's mutex. So if you're about to call this and you're not holding it, put your hands down, you are not ready 🙈

Lowkey that's the whole page — the function announces that an association failed, it can sleep, and you gotta be holding that wdev mutex when you call it. Simple. Iconic. Very "small function, big consequences" energy 👑

---

and yes bestie, there's more where that came from — hang tight 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, buckle up, because this is the part where the manpage stops being a manpage and starts being a whole extended universe. it's giving "linked list of destiny", it's giving "the kernel said 'here, have ✨everything✨'". every single cross-reference is down below, nothing skipped, nothing merged, because the kernel does not do abridged versions. 💅

• Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h — the mothership, the source of truth, the main character's actual house
• Introduction(9), Device registration(9) — start here if you're brand new, no gatekeeping 🫶
