💅 ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a little one-shot function page, but it's lowkey important if you're doing mac80211 driver stuff. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session — Stop a Block Ack session. that's it, that's the whole vibe.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session (struct ieee80211_sta *sta , u16 tid );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • sta — the station whose BA session you're trying to stop, like the actual peer you want to shut down aggregation for 🫶
  • tid — the TID whose BA you want to stop. yes, the TID. you know the one 💅

🦋 RETURN 🦋

it returns a negative error if the TID is invalid, or if there's no aggregation active. so bestie, if you get a negative number back, check your TID and check that aggregation was even happening 😭

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

okay so here's the tea 🍵 — a mac80211 / low level driver / user space application can all estimate the need to stop aggregation on a certain RA/TID, but the session level is gonna be managed by the mac80211. that's the whole point. it's giving "you have opinions, mac80211 has the final say" 👑
