💫 cfg80211_sinfo_alloc_tid_stats — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, iykyk) and it's about cfg80211_sinfo_alloc_tid_stats. say that five times fast, I dare you. 💅

It does exactly one iconic thing and it does it well: it allocates per-tid statistics. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

cfg80211_sinfo_alloc_tid_stats — allocate per-tid statistics.

like, literally just allocate them. per tid. stats. we love a function that knows what it wants. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int cfg80211_sinfo_alloc_tid_stats (struct station_info *sinfo , gfp_t
gfp );

so it takes a struct station_info * and a gfp_t, and it hands you back an int. simple. clean. main character energy. ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • sinfo — the station information. that's the struct station_info * bestie, the thing you're stuffing the stats into. 🫶
  • gfp — allocation flags. the gfp_t. this is where you tell the kernel how you'd like the memory allocated, and it's a whole thing, but you already knew that. 💜

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success. slay. 🎉
  • Non-zero on error. not slay, but at least you know. 😭

okay and that's genuinely it for part one — keep scrolling, there's more coming, don't go anywhere 👑

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay so before we wrap, here's the extended fam 💖 — every single one of these is linked from this page, and we are not gatekeeping, so they all get listed. All sixty-four of them. Buckle up bestie 🎀

and that's the whole extended fam 🫶 if a name is on this list it's on this list on purpose — nothing dropped, nothing merged, no cap 💖

okay that's literally the entire page, we did it bestie 🎉 this one ships from source ./include/net, dated October 2026, and it's cfg80211_sin...oc_tid_stats(9) signing off 💅✨
