STRUCT IEEE80211_STA_REMOVED_LINK_STATS(9)

💖 struct ieee80211_sta_removed_link_stats 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — like, kernel-doc girlies know — and the whole thing is about struct ieee80211_sta_removed_link_stats, which is literally just the Removed link sta data. the receipts for links that are gone. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct ieee80211_sta_removed_link_stats — Removed link sta data 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe, character for character, do not touch:

struct ieee80211_sta_removed_link_stats {
    u32 rx_packets;
    u32 tx_packets;
    u64 rx_bytes;
    u64 tx_bytes;
    u32 tx_retries;
    u32 tx_failed;
    u32 rx_dropped_misc;
    u32 beacon_loss_count;
    u32 expected_throughput;
    struct {
      u64 rx_msdu;
      u64 tx_msdu;
      u64 tx_msdu_retries;
      u64 tx_msdu_failed;
    } pertid_stats;
 };

like, look at that nested struct. it's giving main character energy. 💅

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

every single field, and what it's actually doing for you:

• rx_packets — accumulated packets (MSDUs & MMPDUs) received from this station, for removed links. 📥
• tx_packets — accumulated packets (MSDUs & MMPDUs) transmitted to this station, for removed links. 📤
• rx_bytes — accumulated bytes (size of MPDUs) received from this station, for removed links.
• tx_bytes — accumulated bytes (size of MPDUs) transmitted to this station, for removed links.
• tx_retries — cumulative retry counts (MPDUs) for removed links. the "girl tried again" counter, honestly. 🔁
• tx_failed — accumulated number of failed transmissions (MPDUs) — retries exceeded, no ACK — for removed links. 💀
• rx_dropped_misc — accumulated dropped packets for un-specified reason from this station, for removed links. mystery behavior, we don't investigate. 🙈
• beacon_loss_count — Number of times beacon loss event has triggered from this station for removed links. 😭
• expected_throughput — expected throughput in kbps (including 802.11 headers) towards this station for removed links. yes bestie, it's in kbps, write that down. ⭐
• pertid_stats — accumulated per-TID statistics for removed link of station.
  • pertid_stats.rx_msdu — accumulated number of received MSDUs towards this station for removed links.
  • pertid_stats.tx_msdu — accumulated number of (attempted) transmitted MSDUs towards this station for removed links.
  • pertid_stats.tx_msdu_retries — accumulated number of retries (not counting the first) for transmitted MSDUs towards this station for removed links.
  • pertid_stats.tx_msdu_failed — accumulated number of failed transmitted MSDUs towards this station for removed links.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

literally just: keep required accumulated removed link data for stats. that's the whole assignment. it ate and left no crumbs. 👑

bestie heads up: this page lives in the ./net/mac80211 directory, dated October 2026, and its manual name is struct ieee...d_link_stats(9) — yes the title itself got abbreviated, and honestly? mood. 💜

okay bye love u, go read the kernel source, slay 💖✨🎀
