STRUCT BATADV_NEIGH_IFINFO_BAT_IV(9)

💅 struct batadv_neigh_ifinfo_bat_iv(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct batadv_neigh_ifinfo_bat_iv — yes the header abbreviates it as struct bata...finfo_bat_iv(9) because even the manpage generator got tired, and yes it says it twice, it's just like that 💀. This is the little bookkeeping struct that holds neighbor information per outgoing interface for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV. She's niche, she's specific, she's lowkey iconic 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, don't touch a single character 🫶

struct batadv_neigh_ifinfo_bat_iv {
    u8 tq_recv[BATADV_TQ_GLOBAL_WINDOW_SIZE];
    u8 tq_index;
    u8 tq_avg;
    unsigned long real_bits[BITS_TO_LONGS(
BATADV_TQ_LOCAL_WINDOW_SIZE)];
    u8 real_packet_count;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

time for the member-by-member vibe check, no cap 🌈

• tq_recv — bestie this is a ring buffer of the TQ values we received from this neigh node. the receipts, literally 💅
• tq_index — and this is the ring buffer index. somebody's gotta keep track of where we are in the ring 🎀
• tq_avg — the averaged tq of all the tq values chillin' in the ring buffer (tq_recv). she did the math 📊
• real_bits — a bitfield holding the number of OGMs received from this neigh node (relative to orig_node->last_real_seqno). yes it's a bitfield, yes it's giving main character energy 👑
• real_packet_count — the counted result of real_bits. it counted. that's the whole job 🍓
