STRUCT IWL_SESSION_PROT_NOTIF(9)

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_session_prot_notif — the little notification that says session protection started / ended 🎬

(oh and btw, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, in case the header up top didn't already spill the tea ☕)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ok so here's the struct, bestie, exactly as it is, no notes:

struct iwl_session_prot_notif {
    __le32 mac_link_id;
    __le32 status;
    __le32 start;
    __le32 conf_id;
 };

---

💅 MEMBERS 💅

• mac_link_id — the mac id (or like, the link id, for notif ver > 2, iykyk) for whichever one the session protection started / ended on 🫶
• status — 1 means success, 0 means failure. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 😭
• start — 1 means the session protection started, 0 means it ended. opening night vs. closing night 🎭
• conf_id — see enum iwl_session_prot_conf_id 👀

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ok so this is the part you actually need to remember: any session protection will always get two notifications — start and end — even if the firmware could not schedule it. like, it's still gonna text you twice, no cap. 💀✨

k bye ily, this page came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — and yeah the header top and bottom both say struct iwl_...n_prot_notif(9) bc the terminal was being shy about the long name 🙈💖
