πŸŽ€ iwl_mvm_rate_control_unregister(9) πŸŽ€

okay bestie so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, driver-adjacent territory, iykyk), and it's honestly such a short little icon. let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

iwl_mvm_rate_control_unregister β€” unregisters the rate control callbacks. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iwl_mvm_rate_control_unregister (void );

returns nothing, takes nothing. low-maintenance queen πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • void β€” no arguments, none, zero, nada. she does not want your input, she wants your timing (see below, it's giving rules) πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so the whole thing here is a when, not a what. this function should be called after calling ieee80211_unregister_hw, but before the driver is unloaded. literally just that. order matters, bestie β€” do it in the wrong spot and the vibe check fails 😭

think of it as the last little curtsy before the driver dips out the door πŸŽ€

ok real talk: the ordering in that sentence is the entire functional content of this page. after ieee80211_unregister_hw, before the driver unloads. periodt. don't shuffle it πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

  • The kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.h β€” the source file, go look at it if you're nosy (affectionate)
  • struct iwl_lq_sta_rs_fw(9) β€” a struct, in a header, living her life
  • iwl_mvm_rate_control_register(9) β€” the other half of the duo, the register to this unregister, they're a matching set fr fr πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ

πŸ’œ the little sign-off πŸ’œ

source/path situation was ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (truncated in the original, so that's exactly what we're passing along, no editing, no cap), dated October 2026, and the page footer still spells her name iwl_mvm_rat...l_unregister(9) β€” also truncated, also iconic, also not ours to fix. slay πŸ’…βœ¨
