2013-03-27batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletionSven Eckelmann
The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces. An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip": $ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2012-08-23batman-adv: change interface_rx to get orig nodeAntonio Quartulli
In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known). This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not have source field). Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2012-06-20batman-adv: Reformat multiline comments to consistent styleSven Eckelmann
batman-adv doesn't follow the style for multiline comments that David S. Miller prefers. All comments should be reformatted to follow this consistent style to make the code slightly more readable. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2012-06-20batman-adv: Prefix soft-interface non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem.

2011-06-20batman-adv: Keep interface_tx as local functionSven Eckelmann
interface_tx is not used outside of soft-interface.c and thus doesn't need to be declared inside soft-interface.h Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-05-30batman-adv: Add const type qualifier for pointersSven Eckelmann
batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a cast to the non-const version. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-03-05batman-adv: Disallow regular interface as mesh deviceSven Eckelmann
When trying to associate a net_device with another net_device which already exists, batman-adv assumes that this interface is a fully initialized batman mesh interface without checking it. The behaviour when accessing data behind netdev_priv of a random net_device is undefined and potentially dangerous.

2010-12-16net: Add batman-adv meshing protocolSven Eckelmann
B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The networks may be wired or wireless.
