From 5c55a40fa801df2d807141319c0fdbb3939c3947 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2018 12:33:17 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Prepare framework for hardif genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the slave/hard-interface have B.A.T.M.A.N. V specific configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.
