📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 wiphy_delayed_work_flush(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short but important, so pay attention 🫶

🧾 NAME

wiphy_delayed_work_flush — flush delayed work you queued earlier, bestie 💖

📜 SYNOPSIS

void wiphy_delayed_work_flush (struct wiphy *wiphy , struct
       wiphy_delayed_work *dwork );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • wiphy — the wiphy, and it’s there for debug purposes 👀
  • dwork — the delayed work to flush 🧚

💖 DESCRIPTION

Flush the work, which literally means run it if it’s pending 🔥

bestie, this must be called under the wiphy mutex acquired by wiphy_lock 💅 no cap, that part matters 😭

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

okay bestie, this is the part where the manpage basically dumps its entire friends list on you, and honestly? it ate. every single one of these is a real page you can go man 9 your way into, so grab a snack 🍓 because we're going through all of them.

First up, the mothership source file itself:

  • ./include/net/cfg80211.h — the kernel file where all this lore actually lives. iykyk 🎀

and then the intro-level stuff to warm up with:

  • Introduction(9) — start here if you're new here, bestie
  • Device registration(9) — the whole "how does a device even get itself known" saga

✨ the channel / rate / cap gaggle ✨

this whole crew is the "what can this radio actually do" friend group:

<aqua>little housekeeping note before you close the tab:</aqua> this whole page lives out of ./include/net, and the copy you're reading is dated October 2026 — that's the version-and-date energy for wiphy_delayed_work_flush(9), aka the header of the page you just read in three parts. ✨
