ieee80211_i...erable_mmpdu(9)

💅 ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today's main character is a tiny little boolean function that checks whether a frame is a bufferable MMPDU, and honestly? she's doing the most with very little. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu — check if frame is bufferable MMPDU 💖

like. that's the whole job. she checks. she returns. she leaves. iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu (struct sk_buff *skb );

that's it, that's the girl. one arg, one bool out, zero drama (allegedly) 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the skb to check, starting with the 802.11 header 💫

⭐ lowkey important: she expects the skb to start with the 802.11 header — like, that's the assignment, that's the brief, don't hand her something else and then act surprised 🙈

---

🦋 RETURN 🦋

whether or not the MMPDU is bufferable ✨

that's it. that's the return value. a bool. yes-or-no. she's not giving you a whole essay, she's giving you a vibe check on the MMPDU and you're gonna respect it 💅
