2011-03-05batman-adv: separate ethernet comparing calls from hash functionsMarek Lindner
Note: The function compare_ether_addr() provided by the Linux kernel requires aligned memory. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-03-05batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for batman_ifMarek Lindner
It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount operations have to be atomic. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-03-05batman-adv: protect bonding with rcu locksSimon Wunderlich
bonding / alternating candidates need to be secured by rcu locks as well. This patch therefore converts the bonding list from a plain pointer list to a rcu securable lists and references the bonding candidates.
