🎀 rt2x00queue_stop_queues(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💅

okay so picture this: you're deep in the rt2x00 wireless driver, the vibe is chaos, frames are queued everywhere, and somebody needs to hit the brakes. that somebody is this function. it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly iconic for how much it does with so little.

✨ NAME ✨

rt2x00queue_stop_queues — Halt all data queues 🛑

like, all of them. every last one. no queue left behind, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rt2x00queue_stop_queues (struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev );

returns nothing (void, she's humble 🫶), takes exactly one pointer, gets straight to business.

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• rt2x00dev — Pointer to struct rt2x00_dev. that's your whole device context right there, the main character of this little story ✨

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does she actually do? This function will loop through all available queues to stop any pending frames. that's it, that's the whole bit — a full sweep, every queue, pending frames told to chill 💀

no cap, it's a loop-and-halt situation: nothing fancy, just thorough. the way that it just goes through every queue one by one and shuts the party down? obsessed 😭
