STRUCT IWL_MVM_TT_MGMT(9)

🌸 struct iwl_mvm_tt_mgmt(9) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one struct: struct iwl_mvm_tt_mgmt — the Thermal Throttling Management structure 💅 yes, the whole vibe is "keep the wifi card from melting," and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_mvm_tt_mgmt — the Thermal Throttling Management structure 🥵🔥

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iwl_mvm_tt_mgmt {
    struct delayed_work ct_kill_exit;
    bool dynamic_smps;
    u32 tx_backoff;
    u32 min_backoff;
    struct iwl_tt_params params;
    bool throttle;
    u32 power_budget_mw;
 };

ngl, look at her. seven fields. all business. 🎀

💖 Members 💖

• ct_kill_exit — the worker that exits thermal kill 🫶 like the designated driver who gets you out of the bad place.
• dynamic_smps — a bool, and the question it's asking is literally: is thermal throttling dynamic_smps enabled? 👀 yes/no, no in-between.
• tx_backoff — the current thermal throttling tx backoff, measured in uSec. the moment-to-moment number, fr fr. ⏱️
• min_backoff — the minimal tx backoff you can have because of power restrictions. it's the floor, bestie — you do not go below it. 🚫
• params — the parameters that configure the thermal throttling algorithm. all the knobs. all the settings. the whole personality. ⚙️✨
• throttle — a bool asking: is thermal throttling active? lowkey the most important question in the struct 💀
• power_budget_mw — the maximum cTDP power budget as defined for this system and this device. your personal power allowance, no borrowing from your neighbor's. 🔋

reminder diva: dynamic_smps and throttle are straight-up bool questions — don't go reading extra meaning into them, the manpage asks and answers nothing more 💅

that's the whole page, bestie — no cap, every field, every ref, nothing skipped 💜 this little cutie lives at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and the docs are stamped October 2026, so mark your calendar and slay the thermal throttling era 👑✨
