STRUCT IWL_MLD_SESSION_PROTECT(9)

🌸 struct iwl_mld_session_protect — session protection parameters 🌸

okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, mwah 💅) and it's all about struct iwl_mld_session_protect, which is literally the vibe check for session protection parameters. no cap, it's a tiny struct and we're absolutely obsessed.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole entire struct, character for character, don't @ me:

struct iwl_mld_session_protect {
    unsigned long end_jiffies;
    u32 duration;
    bool session_requested;
};

like, three fields. three. short king behavior honestly 👑

💖 Members 💖

okay so each of these is a member and we are gonna go through them one by one because that's just polite 🎀

• end_jiffies — the expected end_jiffies of the current session protection. and listen, if it's 0 that means it's not active — like, no session protection is happening right now, it's giving dormant era 😴
• duration — the duration, in tu, of the current session ⏳ (yes, tu, exactly as written, don't ask me to convert it)
• session_requested — a session protection command was sent and wasn't yet answered 👀 so like, it's out there in the world, pending, awaiting its reply. main character energy: unresolved 🦋

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the cross-references, because bestie you know we don't read manpages in isolation:

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/session-protect.h
• session protection(9)
• iwl_mld_handle_session_prot_notif(9)
• iwl_mld_schedule_session_protection(9)
• iwl_mld_start_session_protection(9)
• iwl_mld_cancel_session_protection(9)

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 big slay, no notes. this little baby lives way out in the kernel trees at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i..., and this edition is dated October 2026 — so like, set a reminder, mark your calendar, whatever 🍓 hope that was useful, love u, bye 🫶💜
