ieee802154_stop_queue(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is ieee802154_stop_queue(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: it stops the ieee802154 queue 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ieee802154_stop_queue (struct ieee802154_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — the main hardware object, the whole vibe, the one we're working with 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: transceivers usually have either one transmit framebuffer or one framebuffer for both transmitting and receiving. that's just the hardware tea ☕

because of that, the core currently only handles one frame at a time for each phy — literally one, no multitasking, no cap 😭

so while we're busy with the transmitted one, we need to tell the upper layers to stop giving us new skbs. like, please, we're booked and busy ✋✨

and the queue must then be stopped before transmitting. periodt 💀
