STRUCT BATADV_PRIV_BAT_V(9)

💅 struct batadv_priv_bat_v(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct batadv_priv_bat_v — the B.A.T.M.A.N. V per mesh-interface private data situation. yes, that's the whole vibe. it's the little stash of stuff each mesh interface keeps for itself when it's running the BATMAN V algorithm. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

struct batadv_priv_bat_v — B.A.T.M.A.N. V per mesh-interface private data 💖

like, per. mesh. interface. private. data. it's giving main character energy but shared with literally nobody else. 🙈

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_priv_bat_v {
    struct batadv_ogm_buf ogm_buff;
    atomic_t ogm_seqno;
    struct mutex ogm_buff_mutex;
    struct delayed_work ogm_wq;
 };

that's the whole struct, bestie. four members, all iconic, all copy-pasted exactly so don't come for me. 👑

---

🧚 Members 🧚

okay so let's meet the cast:

• ogm_buff — the buffer holding the OGM packet. that's where the packet lives. it's its home. 🏠
• ogm_seqno — the OGM sequence number, used to identify each OGM. it's literally how you tell one OGM apart from another. iykyk. 🔢
• ogm_buff_mutex — a lock protecting ogm_buff. it's the bouncer at the door of ogm_buff, fr fr. 🔒
• ogm_wq — the workqueue used to schedule OGM transmissions. it's the calendar. it books the sends. 🗓️
