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: add seqno maximum age and protection start flag parameters

2016-02-10T15:23:57+00:00

To allow future use of the window protected function with different maximum sequence numbers, add a parameter to set this value which was previously hardcoded. Another parameter added for future use is a flag to return whether the protection window has started. While at it, also fix the kerneldoc.

batman-adv: Remove batadv_ types forward declarations

2015-08-24T22:12:20+00:00

main.h is included in every file and is the only way to access types.h. This makes forward declarations for all types defined in types.h unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli

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. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli

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: add bonding again

2014-01-12T13:41:15+00:00

With the new interface alternating, the first hop may send packets in a round robin fashion to it's neighbors because it has multiple valid routes built by the multi interface optimization. This patch enables the feature if bonding is selected. Note that unlike the bonding implemented before, this version is much simpler and may even enable multi path routing to a certain degree.

batman-adv: split out router from orig_node

2014-01-12T13:41:11+00:00

For the network wide multi interface optimization there are different routers for each outgoing interface (outgoing from the OGM perspective, incoming for payload traffic). To reflect this, change the router and associated data to a list of routers. While at it, rename batadv_orig_node_get_router() to batadv_orig_router_get() to follow the new naming scheme.
