ENUM IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACE_STATE(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the enum ieee80211_chanctx_replace_state(9) page: channel context replacement state. That’s the whole vibe — it’s an enum that tracks how a channel context is getting replaced. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ieee80211_chanctx_replace_state {
    IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACE_NONE ,
    IEEE80211_CHANCTX_WILL_BE_REPLACED ,
    IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACES_OTHER

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACE_NONE — no replacement is taking place. Literally none. zero. the void. 💀
• IEEE80211_CHANCTX_WILL_BE_REPLACED — this channel context will be replaced by a (not yet registered) channel context pointed by replace_ctx. like it’s got one foot out the door but the replacement hasn’t finished registering yet 😭
• IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACES_OTHER — this (not yet registered) channel context replaces an existing channel context pointed to by replace_ctx. main character energy: not registered yet but already taking somebody’s spot 👑

💅 Description 💅

This is used for channel context in-place reservations that require channel context switch/swap. no cap, that’s the whole point — in-place reservation business with a switch/swap situation 🫶
