cfg80211_testmode_event(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 cfg80211_testmode_event — NAME ✨

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual (that's the 9 in cfg80211_testmode_event(9), iykyk) and it's literally about one thing: sending the event. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

void cfg80211_testmode_event (struct sk_buff *skb , gfp_t gfp );

no cap, that's it. two args, one function, zero drama. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • skb — the skb, bestie. and listen, it must have been allocated with cfg80211_testmode_alloc_event_skb. like, that's not a suggestion, that's the rule. don't come in here with some random skb you found on the sidewalk. 🙈
  • gfp — the allocation flags. yes, those flags. the gfp ones. slay. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: this function sends the given skb as an event. 📨

and which skb is that? the one that must have been allocated by cfg80211_testmode_alloc_event_skb. we said it in ARGUMENTS and we're saying it again because it's that important, fr fr. 👑

the iconique part? it always consumes it. like, the skb goes in and it does not come back out. main character energy — it takes what it takes and doesn't apologize. 💀

so yeah, don't go using that skb after you hand it over, bestie. it's been consumed. gone. periodt. 🫶

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, this is the friend list and it is long — like, longer than my screen-time report 😭. Every single one of these is a real page you can go read, and I'm listing all of them fr fr, no skipping, no "etc." energy. Buckle in 🎀

that's the capability/band cluster, and honestly? it's giving "all my friends have names I can't pronounce" 💅 onward!!

lowkey that whole block is the "config girlies" and they're all iconic in their own way 🫶

scanning squad, assemble 🌸 (the wowlan ones are the "my laptop wakes up at 3am" clique, obsessed with them tbh)

the wiphy_work_* family is literally 12 siblings and I respect the consistency 💀

okay we're in the home stretch, stay with me bestie 🧚 these last ones are the notify/connection girlies and they're so main character:

and that's genuinely all of them, periodt 💅✨ — go read whichever one you need, they're all right there in section 9, ily, mwah 🫶

okay bestie, picking up right where we left off — the reference list is still going, because of course it is 💅 no cap, this is the whole extended-universe guest list, in order, and not a single one is getting left out:

periodt ✨ that’s the full lineup, bestie — every single (9) reference accounted for, no crumbs, no “oops I forgot one,” none of that 💀🫶

mwah 💋 the little source/version and date info at the end says this page lives under ./include/net, is dated October 2026, and answers to the name cfg80211_testmode_event(9) — iconic, honestly 🎀🌸
