STRUCT BATADV_BLA_CLAIM(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct batadv_bla_claim — literally the claimed non-mesh client structure. That's the whole NAME, and yes, she's iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_bla_claim {
    u8 addr[ETH_ALEN];
    unsigned short vid;
    struct batadv_bla_backbone_gw *backbone_gw;
    spinlock_t backbone_lock;
    unsigned long lasttime;
    struct hlist_node hash_entry;
    struct rcu_head rcu;
    struct kref refcount;
 };

🫶 Members 🫶

• addr — mac address of claimed non-mesh client, no cap. That's the client's whole identity here. 💖
• vid — vlan id this client was detected on, iykyk. 🦋
• backbone_gw — pointer to the backbone gw claiming this client. Main character pointer energy, fr fr. 👑
• backbone_lock — lock protecting the backbone_gw pointer. She's literally the bodyguard for that pointer. 🔥
• lasttime — last time we heard of claim (locals only). Yes, locals only — that detail matters, bestie. ⭐
• hash_entry — hlist node for batadv_priv_bla.claim_hash. Exact path, don't lose it. 🎀
• rcu — struct used for freeing in an RCU-safe manner. RCU-safe slay, periodt. 🌸
• refcount — number of contexts the object is used. Literally the refcount doing refcount things. 💜
