ENUM IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT(9)

✨ enum iwl_mld_emlsr_exit ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about — say it with me — enum iwl_mld_emlsr_exit 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

enum iwl_mld_emlsr_exit — it literally defines the reasons for exiting EMLSR. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

like, every single one of these is a whole personality, and we're gonna meet all of them 🫶

🦋 Constants 🦋

bestie there are twelve of these and each one is an iconic little reason to bounce out of EMLSR:

• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_BLOCK — you're exiting because a block reason got set. that's it. that's the reason 💅
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_MISSED_BEACON — missed beacons said "we're leaving" 😭 so you exit.
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY — the FW tried to enter EMLSR and literally failed. rip. not slay of it.
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_CSA — EMLSR got prevented because there's a channel switch on the link. channel switch said not today ✋
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_EQUAL_BAND — EMLSR prevented because both links share the band. same band, no thanks, we're not doing that 🌈
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_LOW_RSSI — the link's RSSI is just... not suitable for EMLSR. vibe check failed 📉
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_LINK_USAGE — exit EMLSR because there's low TPT on the secondary link. low throughput = low energy, and we don't do that here 🍓
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_BT_COEX — exit EMLSR due to BT coexistence. bluetooth said "excuse me" and honestly? fair 🎧
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_CHAN_LOAD — exit EMLSR because the primary channel is not loaded enough to justify EMLSR. like if it's not busy, why are we even here, be serious 🔥
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_RFI — exit EMLSR due to RFI. periodt.
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_FW_REQUEST — exit EMLSR because the FW requested it. FW asked nicely, so we go 👑
• IWL_MLD_EMLSR_EXIT_INVALID — internal exit reason due to invalid data. bestie this one is the internal one, it means the data was invalid 🙈 don't be this one.

💜 Description 💜

so the tea is: reasons to exit EMLSR may be either link specific or even specific to a combination of links. that's the whole deal. lowkey important, highkey iconic 🧚

ok and a little sign-off 💌 this page came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yeah the path got cut off in the terminal, not my fault 💅) and it's dated October 2026. mwah, go read your kernel source bestie, it ate 💖✨
