✨ rt2x00queue_...eacon_locked(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's lowkey iconic — it's all about pushing a brand new beacon from mac80211 down into the actual hardware. the vibe? "caller needs to ensure locking." that's it, that's the whole personality 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

rt2x00queue_update_beacon_locked — send a new beacon from mac80211 to the hardware. the caller has to make sure the locking is already handled, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rt2x00queue_update_beacon_locked (struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev ,
struct ieee80211_vif *vif );

like, that's literally the whole function signature. look at it. slay 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• rt2x00dev — a pointer to struct rt2x00_dev. yes bestie, a pointer, it's giving very official 👑
• vif — the interface whose beacon deserves a glow-up (aka the one that should be updated) 🦋

ngl, note the _locked in the name — this one expects you to already be holding the lock. it is not out here doing that for you, so don't come for it later 😭
