STRUCT BATADV_ALGO_GW_OPS(9)

🦋 struct batadv_algo_gw_ops(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct batadv_algo_gw_ops. It's giving gateway-election committee main character energy, and we're gonna read it together. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct batadv_algo_gw_ops — mesh algorithm callbacks (GW specific). Lowkey the GW-specific callback squad for mesh algorithms. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct exactly as it is, bestie — don't let the function-pointer syntax scare you:

struct batadv_algo_gw_ops {
    void (*init_sel_class)(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv);
    u32 sel_class_max;
    struct batadv_gw_node *(*get_best_gw_node) (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv);
    bool (*is_eligible)(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv, struct batadv_orig_node *curr_gw_orig, struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node);
    void (*dump)(struct sk_buff *msg, struct netlink_callback *cb, struct batadv_priv *priv);
 };

It's five members: four callbacks and one u32 field. The vibe check is complete. 🎀

---

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so here's every member, all listed, no skipping. Optional ones are literally marked optional. 🫶

• init_sel_class — initialize GW selection class (optional). Signature: void (*init_sel_class)(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv);
• sel_class_max — maximum allowed GW selection class. Type: u32.
• get_best_gw_node — select the best GW from the list of available nodes (optional). Signature: struct batadv_gw_node *(*get_best_gw_node) (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv);
• is_eligible — check if a newly discovered GW is a potential candidate for the election as best GW (optional). Signature: bool (*is_eligible)(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv, struct batadv_orig_node *curr_gw_orig, struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node);
• dump — dump gateways to a netlink socket (optional). Signature: void (*dump)(struct sk_buff *msg, struct netlink_callback *cb, struct batadv_priv *priv);
