wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's about wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending, and yes it's a whole mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending — literally just: find out whether a wiphy hrtimer work item is currently pending. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending (struct wiphy *wiphy , struct
wiphy_hrtimer_work *hrwork );

so it takes two things and gives you back a bool, no cap ✨

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • wiphy — the wiphy in question 💫 and like, heads up: it's there for debug purposes. that's its whole job bestie, don't ask it for more.
  • hrwork — the hrtimer work in question 🎀 the actual one you're checking on.

✨ RETURN ✨

  • true — if timer is pending 👑
  • false — otherwise 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this page is lowkey short and it's giving "go read the other one" energy — and honestly? respectfully? it says please refer to the wiphy_delayed_work_pending documentation, because this function is the equivalent function for hrtimer based delayed work items. so like, same idea, different timer flavor 🧚

more coming bestie, stay tuned 💖

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, this is the part where the manpage just dumps the entire extended friend group on you 😭 like it's not going to introduce them one by one, it's just gonna say "here's everybody, go say hi." And honestly? Respect. So let's give them all their little moment, in the exact order the page lists them, because we do not skip people in this house 💅

Starting with the source of truth itself, the kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, and the intro docs:

Then we roll into the config era — this is where all the "what can you actually do to a wiphy" lives:

like, that's a lot of chandef content and I'm obsessed with how thorough it is 🎀

and then the wiphy lifecycle crew, which — not me realizing this is literally our homegirl's family tree 😭:

yes bestie, wiphy_hrtimer_work_flush(9) is right there in the same list as the function you're reading about — that's the full trio, queue/cancel/flush, plus the wiphy_delayed_work_pending(9) cousin. Go read them all, it's giving "family reunion" 🫶

Then the wireless_dev bit and utility functions, where stuff gets genuinely useful:

data path helpers next, where packets get handled and headers get stripped 🧚:

regulatory enforcement, the ✨rules are rules✨ section:

then scan/BSS notification helpers and the mlme mgmt crowd:

RFkill integration, short but iconic:

vendor commands & test mode, the "oem stuff" corner 🌸:

and then the connection/roaming notification gang, besties who just want to tell you what happened:

and that's the entire list, bestie — every single reference, nothing skipped, nothing merged, no cap 💖 if a name is in the original page it's in this list too, so you can literally just scroll and find your fave. slay ✨

…and the rest of the crew rolls in like the group chat when someone says "we're getting boba" 💖 keep scrolling, bestie, they're all here:

the regulatory girlies 💅

channel switch moment ✨

operating class / chandef girlies (they always come in fours) 🎀

registration & friends 🦋

fast transition things 🌸

P2P + IE parsing squad 🔥

wakeups, crit proto, channel counting 😭

combination checking besties 🧚

shutting it all down (respectfully) 💀

ext feature icons 👑

the whole rest of the function list, no cap 🫶

bestie that is a lot of cross-references, but they're all exactly as written, so go click through them and slay your kernel spelunking 💜

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this lil icon lives at ./include/net (that's the source path, iykyk) and it's stamped October 2026, and the page itself is wiphy_hrtimer_work_pending(9) — go forth and be the main character of your own hrtimer work, bestie 🎀✨
