💅 NAME 💅

ieee80211_nan_func_terminated — okay bestie, this is the one that notifies everybody that a NAN function has been terminated 💀 and yes, that's ieee80211_nan_func_terminated(9) from the Kernel API Manual, we're in section 9, get comfy 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

inst_id , enum nl80211_nan_func_term_reason reason , gfp_t gfp );

yeah it's a whole function signature, don't copy it by hand, just look at it 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vif — a struct ieee80211_vif pointer, the exact one you got handed from the add_interface callback 🫶
  • inst_id — the local instance id, lowkey important
  • reason — the termination reason, and it's gotta be one of the NL80211_NAN_FUNC_TERM_REASON_* values, no freelancing
  • gfp — allocation flags 🌸

So the whole vibe of this function is: you use it to notify mac80211 that a NAN function has terminated ✨ that's it, that's the job, main character energy.

⚠️ but ngl there's a big one — this function can't be called from hard irq. literally cannot. don't do it 🙈
