STRUCT IL_LQ_STA(9)

💅 struct il_lq_sta(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct il_lq_sta 💖 this is literally the driver's rate scaling state structure, and yes, it's spelled "ilate" in the original NAME line and we are NOT fixing it, we're honoring it, periodt 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct il_lq_sta — the driver's rate scaling ilate structure 💅 (yes, "ilate", that's the word, don't @ me, the source said it and we stay faithful to the source 🔥)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct il_lq_sta {
    u8 active_tbl;
    u8 enable_counter;
    u8 stay_in_tbl;
    u8 search_better_tbl;
    s32 last_tpt;
    u32 table_count_limit;
    u32 max_failure_limit;
    u32 max_success_limit;
    u32 table_count;
    u32 total_failed;
    u32 total_success;
    u64 flush_timer;
    u8 action_counter;
    u8 is_green;
    u8 is_dup;
    enum nl80211_band band;
    u32 supp_rates;
    u16 active_legacy_rate;
    u16 active_siso_rate;
    u16 active_mimo2_rate;
    s8 max_rate_idx;
    u8 missed_rate_counter;
    struct il_link_quality_cmd lq;
    struct il_scale_tbl_info lq_info[LQ_SIZE];
    struct il_traffic_load load[TID_MAX_LOAD_COUNT];
    u8 tx_agg_tid_en;
    u32 dbg_fixed_rate;
    struct il_priv *drv;
    int last_txrate_idx;
    u32 last_rate_n_flags;
    u8 is_agg;
 };

like, look at all those fields, she's fully loaded, no notes 👑 every single one is copied exactly, character for character, because that's the vibe check we do not fail 🫶

---

🧚 Members 🧚

(the original just says "Members" with no per-member blurbs, so we're not inventing any, no cap — that would be making stuff up and we don't do that here 💀)

---

⭐ Description ⭐

Pointer to this gets passed back and forth between driver and mac80211 🎀

that's it, that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic. short queen behavior 💅 😭

ngl bestie, if you're poking at these fields, make sure you actually know what the driver and mac80211 are doing with them — the original doesn't promise anything beyond "pointer gets passed back and forth", and I'm not about to invent behaviour that isn't written down 🙈
