STRUCT QLINK_EVENT_UPDATE_OWE(9)

✨ struct qlink_event_update_owe 💅

okay so real talk, the manual name for this whole thing is Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is struct qlink_event_update_owe — the struct that carries the data for the QLINK_EVENT_UPDATE_OWE event. she's small, she's specific, she shows up when OWE stuff needs handling. no notes. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct qlink_event_update_owe — data for QLINK_EVENT_UPDATE_OWE event

like literally that's her whole job, and she does it. periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct qlink_event_update_owe {
    struct qlink_event ehdr;
    u8 peer[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 rsvd[2];
    u8 ies[];
 };

look at her. four fields. immaculate layout. not a single wasted byte (well, except the two that are literally reserved, but we'll get there 🫶).

---

💖 Members 💖

peer

MAC addr of the peer device for which OWE processing needs to be done.

so like, <pink>this is the peer</pink> — the actual device whose OWE processing needs doing, and this field is her MAC address. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. she's ETH_ALEN bytes of pure identity. 👑

ies

IEs from the peer.

short king of a description honestly, but it's facts-only: these are the IEs, and they came from the peer. no more, no less. the [] at the end means it's flexible and she's built different — sized to fit. 🧚

🫶 quick aside bestie: the struct also has u8 rsvd[2]; sitting right there between peer and ies, and this page gives it no description at all. so we're not gonna make stuff up about it — if you need the tea, go read ./drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/qlink.h directly. iykyk 💀
