STRUCT BATADV_PRIV_TVLV(9)

💖 struct batadv_priv_tvlv(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct batadv_priv_tvlv — yes, the per mesh interface tvlv data one. it's giving kernel internals, but we're gonna slay this together 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct batadv_priv_tvlv — per mesh interface tvlv data. that's the whole vibe: tvlv data that lives per mesh interface, fr fr. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its glory — copy it exactly, no touchy:

       struct batadv_priv_tvlv {
           struct hlist_head container_list;
           struct hlist_head handler_list;
           spinlock_t container_list_lock;
           spinlock_t handler_list_lock;
        };

💖 Members 💖

okay so every field is a main character here:

• container_list — list of registered tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM. lowkey this is the roster of tvlv containers that goes out with every single OGM, periodt. 💅
• handler_list — list of the various tvlv content handlers. the whole squad of tvlv content handlers lives here. 🧚
• container_list_lock — protects tvlv container list access. spinlock moment: it guards access to the tvlv container list. 🔒
• handler_list_lock — protects handler list access. and this spinlock guards access to the handler list, no cap. 🔐
