batman-adv: store hard_iface as iflink private data

2025-05-31T08:41:11Z

By passing the hard_iface to netdev_master_upper_dev_link() as private data, we can iterate over hardifs of a mesh interface more efficiently using netdev_for_each_lower_private*() (instead of iterating over the global hardif list). In addition, this will enable resolving a hardif from its netdev using netdev_lower_dev_get_private() and getting rid of the global list altogether in the following patches. A similar approach can be seen in the bonding driver. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info

2021-02-06T08:22:10Z

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Acked-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Allow selection of routing algorithm over rtnetlink

2020-12-04T07:40:52Z

A batadv net_device is associated to a B.A.T.M.A.N. routing algorithm. This algorithm has to be selected before the interface is initialized and cannot be changed after that. The only way to select this algorithm was a module parameter which specifies the default algorithm used during the creation of the net_device. This module parameter is writeable over /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo and thus allows switching of the routing algorithm: 1. change routing_algo parameter 2. create new batadv net_device But this is not race free because another process can be scheduled between 1 + 2 and in that time frame change the routing_algo parameter again. It is much cleaner to directly provide this information inside the rtnetlink's RTM_NEWLINK message. The two processes would be (in regards of the creation parameter of their batadv interfaces) be isolated. This also eases the integration of batadv devices inside tools like network-manager or systemd-networkd which are not expecting to operate on /sys before a new net_device is created.

batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdecls

2019-05-25T10:59:53Z

While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon, ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/ is mostly not using them in *.c file.

batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header

2017-12-15T16:22:45Z

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time.
