okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β yes bestie, we're in the kernel docs now, put your hair up π
β¨ NAME β¨
cfg80211_pmsr_complete β report peer measurement completed π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void cfg80211_pmsr_complete (struct wireless_dev *wdev , struct
cfg80211_pmsr_request *req , gfp_t gfp );
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
wdevβ the wireless device reporting the measurement, aka the one doing the telling πreqβ the original measurement request, the receipts, the origin story πgfpβ allocation flags, the little "how should we allocate tho" settings πΈ
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
So like β this is you reporting that the entire measurement completed. the whole thing. done. periodt π₯
β οΈ but listen, and this is the important part: after this, the request pointer will no longer be valid. like, gone. don't touch it. don't call it. don't text it back. it's over bestie π
okay that's part one, don't go anywhere, more is coming π«Ά
π SEE ALSO π
okay so this is the part where the page just fully name-drops its entire extended friend group π
every single entry below is a real cross-reference it's pointing you at, and bestie we are NOT skipping a single one β not one struct, not one (9). It's giving "tag yourself, I'm struct cfg80211_pmsr_request(9)" energy. And the whole mothership lives in Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, so that's where you go when you want the actual source. πΈ
