rt2x00queue_pause_queue(9)

🌸 rt2x00queue_pause_queue(9) 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel manual, we're in the big leagues bestie 💅 — and it's all about one tiny function that hits pause on a data queue. iconic behaviour, honestly.

---

✨ NAME ✨

rt2x00queue_pause_queue — Pause a data queue 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void rt2x00queue_pause_queue (struct data_queue *queue );

that's the whole signature. short, sweet, to the point. she ate 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• queue — Pointer to struct data_queue. that's it, that's the only thing she needs from you 🧚

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe: this function pauses the data queue locally. locally!! meaning it stops new frames from being added to the queue — like, no new frames allowed in, we're full, go away 😭 — while the hardware is still allowed to run.

read that again because it's the whole personality of this function: the queue gets paused, but the hardware keeps on doing its hardware thing. it's giving "doors closed but the party's still going" energy ngl 🔥
