STRUCT CFG802154_MAC_PKT(9)

💖 STRUCT CFG802154_MAC_PKT 💖

bestie welcome to the kernel API manual page for struct cfg802154_mac_pkt — we're doing this one in style ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct cfg802154_mac_pkt — the MAC packet descriptor, and yes she is specifically for beacon/command packets 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole little struct, no cap, exactly as she lives:

struct cfg802154_mac_pkt {
    struct list_head node;
    struct sk_buff *skb;
    struct ieee802154_sub_if_data *sdata;
    netdevice_tracker dev_tracker;
    u8 page;
    u8 channel;
 };

(also, um, shoutout to that one stray space before the closing brace — she's iconic, we keep her 💅)

👑 Members 👑

okay so the manual breaks down these five fields, and honestly? each one is kind of main character energy:

• node — the list member that hooks this packet onto the MAC packets to process list 🫶
• skb — the received sk_buff itself, like, the actual packet ✨
• sdata — the interface that skb got received on 🌸
• page — the page configuration at the moment skb was received 📄
• channel — the channel configuration at the moment skb was received 📡

ngl, the struct in SYNOPSIS also has a dev_tracker field in it — but the Members list doesn't describe it, so we're not out here making stuff up about it 🙈 the struct definition above is verbatim, that's the promise 💖
