STRUCT MVM_STATISTICS_RX_NON_PHY(9)

💅 struct mvm_statistics_rx_non_phy(9) — a lil' Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the kernel API manual, and today's main character is struct mvm_statistics_rx_non_phy — literally the non-PHY RX statistics struct. yes that's a mouthful, no I will not be shortening it, we respect the full name here 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct mvm_statistics_rx_non_phy — non-PHY RX statistics. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. it's a bag of counters that tells you what the radio heard when it wasn't busy being all PHY about it 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mvm_statistics_rx_non_phy {
    __le32 bogus_cts;
    __le32 bogus_ack;
    __le32 non_channel_beacons;
    __le32 channel_beacons;
    __le32 num_missed_bcon;
    __le32 adc_rx_saturation_time;
    __le32 ina_detection_search_time;
    __le32 beacon_silence_rssi_a;
    __le32 beacon_silence_rssi_b;
    __le32 beacon_silence_rssi_c;
    __le32 interference_data_flag;
    __le32 channel_load;
    __le32 beacon_rssi_a;
    __le32 beacon_rssi_b;
    __le32 beacon_rssi_c;
    __le32 beacon_energy_a;
    __le32 beacon_energy_b;
    __le32 beacon_energy_c;
    __le32 num_bt_kills;
    __le32 mac_id;
};

look at her. twenty __le32 fields, all little-endian, all iconic, all accounted for 🔥

🦋 MEMBERS 🦋

twenty members, zero skips, let's go member by member because we do NOT leave anyone out:

• bogus_cts — CTS received when you weren't even expecting a CTS. rude. unexpected. counted anyway 💀
• bogus_ack — ACK received when not expecting an ACK. same energy, different frame.
• non_channel_beacons — beacons that have our bss id but aren't on our serving channel. so close and yet so far 😭
• channel_beacons — beacons with our bss id and sitting right in our serving channel. these are the good ones 👑
• num_missed_bcon — number of missed beacons. ngl this one hurts to look at.
• adc_rx_saturation_time — count, in 0.8us units, of the time the ADC was in saturation. yes, 0.8us. not 1us. remember that. ✨
• ina_detection_search_time — total time (in 0.8us) spent searching for INA. same unit, keep it consistent bestie 🎀
• beacon_silence_rssi_a — RSSI silence after beacon frame. antenna A, doing her thing 💜
• beacon_silence_rssi_b — RSSI silence after beacon frame. antenna B, same energy 🌸
• beacon_silence_rssi_c — RSSI silence after beacon frame. antenna C, completing the trio 🎀
• interference_data_flag — a flag for interference data availability: it's 1 when the data is available. literally just tell me if you have the data, king 🙈
• channel_load — counts RX Enable time in uSec. note: uSec here, 0.8us up there. do not mix them up fr fr
• beacon_rssi_a — beacon RSSI on antenna A 📡
• beacon_rssi_b — beacon RSSI on antenna B 📡
• beacon_rssi_c — beacon RSSI on antenna C 📡
• beacon_energy_a — beacon energy on antenna A ⚡
• beacon_energy_b — beacon energy on antenna B ⚡
• beacon_energy_c — beacon energy on antenna C ⚡
• num_bt_kills — number of BT "kills" (frame TX aborts). quoting "kills" because that's literally how the manpage says it and I am not about to editorialise 💅
• mac_id — mac ID. short, sweet, essential. we stan a minimal field 🫶

like I said. huge friend group. go read them, they're all lovely 🧚

ok and a tiny heads-up before you go: everything above is a straight-up field dump, so don't go assuming behaviour the page doesn't state. the manpage gives you fields, units, and flags — nothing more, no cap 💀

that's the whole page bestie, hope the stats struct is now your best friend 💖✨

sign-off time 🌟 — this little slice of documentation comes straight from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yes, the path really does get truncated like that in the footer, it's giving mysterious) and it's dated October 2026. mwah, go forth and count your beacons 🎀💅
