STRUCT IWL_MLD_TXQ(9)

💖 struct iwl_mld_txq — TX Queue data 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the struct iwl_mld_txq(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the lil data blob that holds all the tea about one TX queue — no cap 🫖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_mld_txq {
    struct {
      u16 fw_id;
      struct {
        u8 allocated:1;
        u8 stop_full:1;
      } status;
    };
    struct list_head list;
    atomic_t tx_request;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• {unnamed_struct} — anonymous 🙈 yeah she's just vibing there with no name, that's literally the whole description, iykyk.
• fw_id — the firmware id of this txq ✨ but bestie listen: it's only valid when status.allocated is true. Don't come for her otherwise, she's not ready 💅
• status — a bitmap of the txq status 🧚 that's where the vibe check lives.
• status.allocated — says the queue was allocated 👑 so like, she exists, she's real, she's been given out.
• status.stop_full — says the queue is full and should stop TXing 💀 okay so put the brakes on, fr fr, no more sending.
• list — list pointer, and it's for mld::txqs_to_add 🦋 yes that exact path, keep it.
• tx_request — okay this one's the main character 🌟 it makes sure that if there are multiple threads that want to tx from this txq, only one of them will do all the TXing. Why? Because it's needed to avoid spinning the trans txq lock, which is expensive 😭 and we do NOT do expensive around here. Periodt.
