💅 cfg80211_crit_proto_stopped(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, this one is literally the wrap-up function and it's giving "closing shift energy" ✨ From the Kernel API Manual, we present: cfg80211_crit_proto_stopped — the one that says critical protocol stopped by driver, no cap 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

cfg80211_crit_proto_stopped — indicate critical protocol stopped by driver 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void cfg80211_crit_proto_stopped (struct wireless_dev *wdev , gfp_t gfp );

that's it, that's the whole signature, clean, minimal, iconic 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • wdev — the wireless device for which critical protocol is stopped 🫶 like, this is the device you're releasing back to normal life.
  • gfp — allocation flags ✨ the usual gfp_t vibes, keep them handy.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea ☕ — this function can be called by the driver to indicate it has reverted operation back to normal. Like, we're done with the whole critical-protocol era, we're back to business as usual, main character energy restored 💅

One reason could be that the duration given by .crit_proto_start has expired ⏰ — yeah, the timer ran out, the era is over, periodt.

lowkey important: it's the driver making this call, not you, so don't @ me 🫶

— more coming in part 2, don't go anywhere 🦋
