batman-adv: Remove unnecessary OOM logging messages

2011-09-08T15:52:30+00:00

Removing unnecessary messages saves code and text.

Site specific OOM messages are duplications of a generic MM
out of memory message and aren't really useful, so just
delete them.

batman-adv: hash_add() has to discriminate on the return value

2011-08-22T13:16:19+00:00

hash_add() returns 0 on success while returns -1 either on error and on
entry already present. The caller could use such information to select
its behaviour. For this reason it is useful that hash_add() returns -1
in case on error and returns 1 in case of entry already present.

batman-adv: protect the local and the global trans-tables with rcu

The local and the global translation-tables are now lock free and rcu
protected.

batman-adv: move smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() into main.h

2011-05-30T05:39:35+00:00

smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() are very useful
functions that help to handle comparisons between sequence numbers.
However they were only defined in vis.c. With this patch every
batman-adv function will be able to use them.

batman-adv: Calculate sizeof using variable insead of types

2011-05-30T05:39:33+00:00

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form

	p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

batman-adv: Remove casts from type x to type x

2011-05-30T05:39:33+00:00

Casting from pointer like 'struct orig_node*' to 'struct orig_node *'
doesn't provide any additional functionality and can be savely removed.

batman-adv: Add const type qualifier for pointers

2011-05-30T05:39:31+00:00

batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not
violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a
cast to the non-const version.

batman-adv: rename everything from hna into tt (translation table)

2011-05-08T14:10:42+00:00

To be coherent, all the functions/variables/constants have been renamed
to the TranslationTable style

batman-adv: Make bat_priv->primary_if an rcu protected pointer

2011-05-01T20:49:03+00:00

The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
for the bat_priv->primary_if need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.

Otherwise we might end up using a primary_if pointer pointing to already
freed memory.
