✨ cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped(9) page 💅 this is the kernel API manual, and we're about to get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped — the "hey, your scheduled scan has stopped" notifier, fr fr 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped (struct wiphy *wiphy , u64 reqid );

that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • wiphy — the wiphy on which the scheduled scan stopped 👑 like, which wireless device are we talking about here
  • reqid — identifier for the related scheduled scan request 🎯 it's the lil tag that ties this stop back to the request that started it all

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the vibe: the driver can call this function to inform cfg80211 that the scheduled scan had to be stopped — for whatever reason, and honestly the reason is between the driver and the universe 🙈

and then? the driver is called back via the sched_scan_stop operation when done 🫶 like, it's a whole loop. you tell cfg80211 it stopped, cfg80211 comes back around to you through sched_scan_stop. main character energy, honestly.

more parts coming, stay tuned bestie 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

👑 the wiphy structs, AKA the whole personality

🌟 Utility functions

the little helpers that do the math so you don't have to 🧮:

⭐ Data path helpers

packets going places, headers getting parsed, this is the plumbing that actually carries your data 🚀:

💖 Regulatory enforcement infrastructure

the vibes police, but for radio frequencies. Respect them 🚨:

💀 Internal regulatory db functions

these ones are internal, so like, they're in the group chat but they're not gonna text you back:

🫶 the callback / notification era

this is where the kernel yells at you about stuff that happened, and honestly? good for it:

🔌 RFkill integration

🎀 Vendor commands

for when your driver wants to do Something Special™:

🧪 Test mode

🌸 connect / roam / disconnect + mgmt spam

the whole "will they, won't they" of associating with an AP 😭:

🌈 CQM notifications (the "your signal is bad" friend)

⭐ radar / CAC / rekey / misc notifications

and that's the entire cross-reference wall, bestie, every last one, not a single (9) left behind 🫶 we're not done yet though, so don't close the tab — there's more coming 💅✨

...and honestly the crossover episode doesn't stop there, bestie. Buckle up, because the friends-of-friends list is long 🫶

Like... sixty-four whole pages of lore, no cap 😭 that's a whole group chat, not a contact list. The register/unregister girlies being right next to each other? Iconic pairing, they're giving matching outfits 💅 and the entire cfg80211_nan_* squad showing up together is highkey a friend group with a shared aesthetic 🦋 and there is an entire color-change storyline in there (cfg80211_bss_color_notify(9), cfg80211_obss_color_collision_notify(9), cfg80211_color_change_started_notify(9), cfg80211_color_change_aborted_notify(9), cfg80211_color_change_notify(9)) — we love a continuing saga ✨ go read them all, you're gonna eat 🍓

okay that's the whole page, bestie — you made it to the end 💖 Ngl the receipts say this one lives in ./include/net, stamped October 2026, and it's filed under cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped(9). Go forth and schedule-scan-stop responsibly, ily, bye 🎀🌈👑
