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

2016-05-10T10:28:54+00:00

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.

batman-adv: Replace C99 int types with kernel type

2015-08-24T22:12:17+00:00

(s|u)(8|16|32|64) are the preferred types in the kernel. The use of the
standard C99 types u?int(8|16|32|64)_t are objected by some people and even
checkpatch now warns about using them.

batman-adv: Add required includes to all files

2015-06-07T15:07:19+00:00

The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

batman-adv: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimer

2014-01-08T19:49:39+00:00

As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the
FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in
its documentation.

In this way it is easier to update it in case of future
changes.
