skb_complete_wifi_ack(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

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

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a packet that already went out the door, and now the wifi layer finally hits you back with the verdict. That's this function. It's the "deliver skb with wifi status" moment — the little messenger that says here's your packet back, and here's whether it got acked or not. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void skb_complete_wifi_ack (struct sk_buff *skb , bool acked );

That's it. Two args. Void return. Short and iconic, honestly. 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • skb — the original outgoing packet 💌 Like, the actual struct sk_buff that went out and is now coming back around for its status update. It's literally the same packet, no cap.
  • acked — ack status 🦋 The bool that carries the whole plot: the ack status, delivered straight to you. This is the tea. ☕
ngl it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy — all it does is hand over the skb along with that ack status, and that's the entire job. Periodt. 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

The kernel file for all of this is ./include/linux/skbuff.h — and bestie, the related-reading list is long, so buckle up, we're going through every single one in order because I would never leave one out 🫶

Like, that's the whole skbuff extended family right there 😭 every cousin invited to the function. Go read them, iykyk 💜

And that's the page!! Sourced from ./include/linux, dated October 2026 — so when you cite this in your writeup, you know exactly where it came from and when, bestie. Stan a documented kernel. 👑🎀💖
