il_beacon_time_mask_high(9)

💖 il_beacon_time_mask_high(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil function called il_beacon_time_mask_high and honestly? she's a supporting character but she ATE. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

il_beacon_time_mask_high — the mask of the higher 32 bit of beacon time 🎀

and bc the original page is a messy queen, the argument deets are stuffed right in here too:

• @il — pointer to the il_priv data structure
• @tsf_bits — number of bits need to shift for masking

(no fr that's it, that's the whole name section, she's doing her best 💅)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 il_beacon_time_mask_high (struct il_priv *il , u16 tsf_bits );

so she takes a struct il_priv *il and a u16 tsf_bits, and she gives you back a u32. beacon time masking, but make it high bits 😌✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• il — undescribed — no cap, the manpage literally just says "undescribed" 💀 like bestie... the pointer to your il_priv struct is right there and nobody wrote a sentence about it. tragic. iconic. both.
• tsf_bits — undescribed — also mysteriously undocumented 🙈 (see the NAME section above if you want the actual tea: it's the number of bits you need to shift for masking, iykyk)

lowkey a vibe check fail on the documentation side, but the signature is real and the types are exact, so we move 🌈

il_beacon_time_mask_low(9) is literally her sister page btw, go show her some love too 💖 and the rest? whole squad, all listed, all linked, periodt 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, slightly under-documented, but serving kernel API realness 🌟

sign-off szn 🎀: this lil beauty comes from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yes the path gets chopped, she's mysterious like that 💅), dated October 2026, and she answers to the name il_beacon_time_mask_high(9). mwah 💋✨
