STRUCT IWL_SESSION_PROT_CMD(9)

💖 struct iwl_session_prot_cmd(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — we're looking at struct iwl_session_prot_cmd, which is literally the struct you use to configure a session protection. no cap, that's the whole name up there.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole squad, exactly as it ships — do not touch, do not rename, just vibe:

struct iwl_session_prot_cmd {
    __le32 id_and_color;
    __le32 action;
    __le32 conf_id;
    __le32 duration_tu;
    __le32 repetition_count;
    __le32 interval;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• id_and_color — the id and color of the link (or mac, for command version 1) for which this session protection is sent. it's giving "who is this protection for" energy 💅
• action — can be either FW_CTXT_ACTION_ADD or FW_CTXT_ACTION_REMOVE, see enum iwl_ctxt_action. so like, are we adding or removing, pick one 🦋
• conf_id — see enum iwl_session_prot_conf_id
• duration_tu — the duration of the whole protection in TUs. the whole thing, okurrr ⏱️
• repetition_count — not used. literally just sitting there, decorative, iconic for no reason 🙈
• interval — not used either. bestie is unemployed but present 🫶

🌸 Note 🌸

the session protection will always be scheduled to start as early as possible, but the maximum delay is configuration dependent — so don't come for it about timing, it's doing its best 💀

The firmware supports only one concurrent session protection per vif. One. Singular. So if you add a new session protection, it will remove any currently running session — yes, fr fr, it just replaces it, no warning, no goodbye text 🔥

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🍓 and for the cute sign-off: this beauty lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — future girlboss manpage energy, we love to see it 👑✨💜
