wx_disable_sec_rx_path(9)

💅 NAME

wx_disable_sec_rx_path — stops the receive data path, bestie 🛑

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey one of those little functions that does exactly what it says on the tin. No plot twists. No cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int wx_disable_sec_rx_path (struct wx *wx );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wx — pointer to private structure. that's it. that's the whole argument. icon behavior honestly.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It stops the receive data path — full stop, that's the vibe.

And then, because it's a considerate little function, it waits for the HW to internally empty the Rx security block. Like, it doesn't just slam the door and dip 🚪💨 — it actually hangs around until the hardware has finished clearing out that Rx security block internally.

ngl if you're the impatient type: yes, it waits. that's the whole point. let the hardware do its little internal cleanup before you go barging in 🙈

Also hi bestie shoutout to wx_enable_sec_rx_path(9) up there — she's literally the reverse of this one. matched set 💜
