batman-adv: Remove the repeated declaration

2021-05-30T11:38:27Z

Function 'batadv_bla_claim_dump' is declared twice, so remove the repeated declaration. Signed-off-by: Shaokun Zhang 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 This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files.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: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets in BLA backbone from mesh

2020-09-15T08:05:24Z

Scenario: * Multicast frame send from mesh to a BLA backbone (multiple nodes with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled) Issue: * BLA backbone nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0, once from mesh->bat0 and once from each backbone_gw from LAN For unicast, a node will send only to the best backbone gateway according to the TQ. However for multicast we currently cannot determine if multiple destination nodes share the same backbone if they don't share the same backbone with us. So we need to keep sending the unicasts to all backbone gateways and let the backbone gateways decide which one will forward the frame. We can use the CLAIM mechanism to make this decision. One catch: The batman-adv gateway feature for DHCP packets potentially sends multicast packets in the same batman-adv unicast header as the multicast optimizations code. And we are not allowed to drop those even if we did not claim the source address of the sender, as for such packets there is only this one multicast-in-unicast packet. How can we distinguish the two cases? The gateway feature uses a batman-adv unicast 4 address header. While the multicast-to-unicasts feature uses a simple, 3 address batman-adv unicast header. So let's use this to distinguish. Fixes: fe2da6ff27c7 ("batman-adv: check incoming packet type for bla") Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

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: 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.
