STRUCT IWL_MLD_LOW_LATENCY(9)

💖 struct iwl_mld_low_latency 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — like, the actual manual manual, and we're gonna talk about struct iwl_mld_low_latency 🦋 which, yes, is exactly what it sounds like: the whole vibe of detecting low-latency and activating it. she manages the detection AND the activation, she's a whole dual-threat icon 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_mld_low_latency — manage low-latency detection and activation, no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_mld_low_latency {
    struct wiphy_delayed_work work;
    unsigned long timestamp;
    unsigned long window_start[NUM_MAC_INDEX_DRIVER];
    struct iwl_mld_low_latency_packets_counters *pkts_counters;
    bool result[NUM_MAC_INDEX_DRIVER];
    bool stopped;
 };

look at her. the layout? immaculate. the semicolons? present and accounted for ✨

• work — okay so this is the work that's literally doing the low-latency detecting, by keeping an eye 👀 on how many voice and video packets get transmitted in a period of time. if the threshold is reached, low-latency gets activated — slay. and when it's already active? it gets deactivated if the threshold isn't reached within a 10-second period. yes, ten seconds. she's dramatic but she's fair 💅
• timestamp — timestamp of the last update. that's it, that's the whole thing, keeping receipts 🫶
• window_start — per-mac timestamp of the start of the current window. when the window is over, the counters get reset — like a fresh new era, we love a reset 🔄
• pkts_counters — per-queue array of voice/video packet counters. the little tally-keepers fr fr 🍓
• result — per-mac latest low-latency result. the final answer, the main character energy 👑
• stopped — if true, ignore the requests to update the counters. she said "not right now" and honestly? valid 💀
