batman-adv: Use parentheses in function kernel-doc

2017-12-15T16:29:20Z

The documentation describing kernel-doc comments for functions ("How to format kernel-doc comments") uses parentheses at the end of the function name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a different kernel-doc section.

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.

batman-adv: prevent multiple ARP replies sent by gateways if dat enabled

2017-03-22T09:30:53Z

If dat is enabled it must be made sure that only the backbone gw which has claimed the remote destination for the ARP request answers the ARP request directly if the MAC address is known due to the local dat table. This prevents multiple ARP replies in a common backbone if more than one gateway already knows the remote mac searched for in the ARP request.

batman-adv: don't add loop detect macs to TT

2017-01-26T07:34:18Z

The bridge loop avoidance (BLA) feature of batman-adv sends packets to probe for Mesh/LAN packet loops. Those packets are not sent by real clients and should therefore not be added to the translation table (TT). Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functions

2016-05-10T10:28:54Z

It is easier to understand that the returned value of a specific function doesn't have to be 0 when the functions was successful when the actual return type is bool. This is especially true when all surrounding functions with return type int use negative values to return the error code.
