cfg80211_sch...opped_locked(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped_locked

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a kernel function and it's literally the designated vibe-check announcer for "hey, that scheduled scan? it's over."

🌸 NAME 🌸

cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped_locked — the "notify that the scheduled scan has stopped" girlie 🎀 she literally just tells everyone the scan is done.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped_locked(struct wiphy *wiphy, u64 reqid);

returns void — no take-backs, no return value, she gives you nothing back and that's the whole point 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wiphy — the wiphy on which the scheduled scan stopped. like, which radio is having the moment. 🫶
  • reqid — identifier for the related scheduled scan request 🔍 so cfg80211 knows which scan request we're all talking about, iykyk.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically, the driver can call this function to inform cfg80211 that the scheduled scan had to be stopped — for whatever reason 😭 and yes that is genuinely the wording, the scan can stop for literally any reason and nobody's asking questions.

the driver is then called back via the sched_scan_stop operation when done 🔁 so it's a cute little round trip: you tell cfg80211, cfg80211 calls you back. main character energy both ways, fr fr.

⚠️ ok important one: this function should be called with the wiphy mutex held 🔒 don't skip this, it's not a suggestion, that's the "_locked" in her name doing its job okay 💀

that's part 1, bestie — there's more coming, don't go anywhere 🌈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay so this is the part where the page just lets go and dumps the entire friend list 💀 and honestly? respectfully? she ate. every single one is here, bestie — nothing skipped, no crumbs, no "and friends". scroll responsibly 🫶

see that first chunk? that's the whole band-and-capability stack — ht, vht, he, eht, uhr, edmg, s1g, all of it, the entire alphabet mafia 🌈 and yes _ieee80211_set_sband_iftype_data(9) has a lil leading underscore, she's the shy internal one, don't come for her 💅

next up: Actions and configuration, aka the section that ate and left absolutely no crumbs 👑

the way this list has everything — chandef checks, DFS checks, SAR specs, mesh, OCB, station params, tid stats... it's giving "one google doc, 40 tabs open, still slaying" ✨

not the wowlan girlies showing up in the middle of the scan list 😭 anyway she's here, she's documented, we respect her.

Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN)(9) — yes bestie, NAN, the social butterfly of the wireless stack 🧚 and then the pmk / external auth / pmsr / owe corner, then the big wiphy family, then struct wireless_dev(9) and her lil helpers:

look at the whole wiphy lineup — wiphy_new_nm(9), wiphy_new(9), wiphy_register(9), wiphy_unregister(9), wiphy_free(9)… the full life cycle, birth to rebirth, main character energy 👑 and all the work-queue / hrtimer-work girlies right after, queued, cancelled, flushed, pending — she's booked and busy fr fr.

Utility functions(9) — the little helpers that keep the whole thing from falling apart 🎀

channel ⇄ frequency conversions both ways, header lengths, radiotap iterators... not glamorous but lowkey the backbone of the whole operation ngl.

Data path helpers(9) — where the actual packets get handled, and also the element/IE finders, because of course ✨

cfg80211_find_elem(9) vs cfg80211_find_ie(9) vs the _match versions vs the ext versions vs the vendor versions — six whole flavors of "where is that element" and honestly? she needed all of them 💅

Regulatory enforcement infrastructure(9)</peak> — no wait, peachy, let me say it right: the section that tells you what the law says about your radio 😤 plus the Internal regulatory db functions(9):

then the big block of bss reporting / mlme / assoc / rfkill / vendor / testmode friends:

careful bestie, __cfg80211_get_bss(9) has two underscores — that's the double-underscore variant, she's not the same girl as cfg80211_get_bss(9) 🙈

RFkill integration(9) — the on/off switch of it all ✈️

Vendor commands(9) — for the driver besties who want their own custom ops 🫶

and Test mode(9), the chaotic experimental one 🧪

and finally 😭 the giant tail end of the list — connect / roam / sta / mgmt / cqm / cac / everything:

okay that's the entire friend group, all 300-something of them, nobody left on read 💖 and there's __cfg80211_radar_event(9) sitting there with her double underscore too — mind the underscores bestie, __cfg80211_radar_event(9) is NOT the same as anything without them 💀

okay so last chunk of the SEE ALSO list — the rest of the extended fam, the whole group chat, no one left out 💖:

like, that's the entire crew 🫶 every single one is a real manual page you can go pull up yourself — bestie, the rabbit hole is deep and it is glorious. go read them, collect them like little stickers, iykyk 💅

and that's a wrap on the whole page, fr fr ✨💖🦋 thank you for reading all three parts, you absolute icon 👑 — this one lives in ./include/net, dated October 2026, and the footer at the bottom is literally just the same name again, cfg80211_sch...opped_locked(9), like a little bow on top of the present 🎀 periodt, go forth and slay those channels 🌸
