STRUCT IWL_MLD_SCAN(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct iwl_mld_scan — the scan data struct, bestie. It’s from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s basically the main-character storage locker for everything scan-related. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iwl_mld_scan {
    struct {
      unsigned int status;
      u32 uid_status[IWL_MAX_UMAC_SCANS];
      u64 start_tsf;
      bool last_ebs_failed;
      enum iwl_mld_pass_all_sched_results_states pass_all_sched_res;
      u8 fw_link_id;
      struct {
        u32 last_stats_ts_usec;
        enum iwl_mld_traffic_load status;
      } traffic_load;
    };
    size_t cmd_size;
    void *cmd;
    u8 cmd_ver;
    unsigned long last_6ghz_passive_jiffies;
    unsigned long last_start_time_jiffies;
    u64 last_mlo_scan_start_time;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

Okay so let’s go member by member, no skipping, no cap:

• {unnamed_struct} — anonymous. That’s it, that’s the entry. An unnamed nested struct just doing its thing. 💅
• status — the scan status, a combination of enum iwl_mld_scan_status, and it reflects the scan.uid_status array.
• uid_status — an array to track the scan status per uid.
• start_tsf — start time of the last scan in TSF of the link that requested the scan.
• last_ebs_failed — true if the last EBS (Energy Based Scan) failed. 😭
• pass_all_sched_res — see enum iwl_mld_pass_all_sched_results_states.
• fw_link_id — the current (regular) scan fw link id, used by scan complete notif.
• traffic_load — traffic load related data. 🚦
• traffic_load.last_stats_ts_usec — the timestamp of the last statistics notification, used to calculate the elapsed time between two notifications and determine the traffic load.
• traffic_load.status — the current traffic load status, see enum iwl_mld_traffic_load.
• cmd_size — size of cmd.
• cmd — pointer to scan cmd buffer (allocated once in op mode start).
• cmd_ver — version of the scan command format.
• last_6ghz_passive_jiffies — stores the last 6GHz passive scan time in jiffies. 🕰️
• last_start_time_jiffies — stores the last start time in jiffies (interface up/reset/resume).
• last_mlo_scan_start_time — start time of the last MLO scan in nanoseconds since boot.
