iwl_mvm_sto...n_protection(9)

💅 NAME 💅

iwl_mvm_stop_session_protection — bestie, this is the one that cancels the session protection ✨

Okay so real quick, we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and this little function is like the "nvm we're good" text you send after you've been holding a table at the restaurant for your whole friend group 🍓

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iwl_mvm_stop_session_protection (struct iwl_mvm *mvm , struct
ieee80211_vif *vif );

No cap, that's the whole signature 👑 returns void, takes two pointers, done.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mvm — the mvm component 🫶 like, the whole mvm situation, that's her
• vif — the virtual interface for which the session is issued 💖 the specific vif that this session belongs to, okay? not a random one, that one

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function cancels the session protection, and honestly? That's an act of good citizenship 🌈 literally civic duty, main character energy but make it polite.

The way that if it's not needed any more, you should cancel it — because the other bindings wait for the medium during that time 😭 like everyone else is standing in line tapping their foot while you're still holding the medium. Don't do that to them. Cancel. Slay. Move on 💅

And the important technical bit, highkey: this function doesn't sleep 😴🚫 no sleeping, not even a little nap, she's awake and she's out here doing her thing.

⭐ Real talk: nothing is needed anymore → cancel it. The other bindings are waiting on the medium and it's giving "group project member who hasn't left the group chat." Free them 🙈
