batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdecls

2019-05-25T10:59:53+00:00

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

2017-12-15T16:29:20+00:00

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

2017-12-15T16:22:45+00:00

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

2017-03-22T09:30:53+00:00

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

2017-01-26T07:34:18+00:00

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).
