STRUCT IWL_MLD_SURVEY_CHANNEL(9)

✨ struct iwl_mld_survey_channel ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're reading kernel headers for fun now, that's just who we are 💅 this one's a tiny little struct from the iwlwifi driver and it genuinely ate, no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

struct iwl_mld_survey_channel — literally just per-channel survey information, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iwl_mld_survey_channel {
    u32 time;
    u32 time_busy;
    s8 noise;
 };

three fields. three. it's giving minimalism, it's giving main character energy 🌸

🌈 Members 🌈

so here's the whole cast of characters, and honestly they all pull their weight:

• time — u32, and it's the time in ms that the radio was on the channel ⏱️ like, how long were we even hanging out here bestie
• time_busy — u32, the time in ms the channel was sensed busy 😭 so this is the "ugh it was crowded" counter
• noise — s8, the channel noise in dBm 🌪️ yes it's a signed 8-bit, yes it's tiny, yes it still matters

🔥 Description 🔥

this is the driver version of struct survey_info with just the data we want to report. that's it. that's the whole description. trimmed down, no bloat, only the essentials — iconic behaviour honestly 👑

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

go poke these if you want the full lore, iykyk:

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/scan.h enum iwl_mld_traffic_load(9)
• struct iwl_mld_scan(9)
• struct iwl_mld_survey(9)

fr fr bestie, cross-reference these before you go touching the struct — the survey stuff lives in a whole little ecosystem and you don't wanna be out here guessing 🙈

and that's the page!! mwah 🫶 this little struct shipped out of ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... back in October 2026, so if you're reading it, congrats, you're on the exact same wavelength as future you ⭐💜 bye bestie, slay your kernel hacking 🧚‍♀️🍓
