2011-05-08	batman-adv: rename everything from hna into tt (translation table)	Antonio Quartulli	1	-208/+209
	To be coherent, all the functions/variables/constants have been renamed to the TranslationTable style Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-05-02	batman-adv: Make bat_priv->primary_if an rcu protected pointer	Marek Lindner	1	-14/+43
	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. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-03-05	batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for orig_node	Marek Lindner	1	-6/+9
	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>
2011-03-05	batman-adv: remove extra layer between hash and hash element - hash bucket	Marek Lindner	1	-75/+133
	Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-03-05	batman-adv: separate ethernet comparing calls from hash functions	Marek Lindner	1	-1/+1
	Note: The function compare_ether_addr() provided by the Linux kernel requires aligned memory. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-03-05	batman-adv: protect each hash row with rcu locks	Marek Lindner	1	-0/+14
	Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-02-12	batman-adv: Remove duplicate types.h inclusions	Linus Lüssing	1	-1/+0
	types.h is included by main.h, which is included at the beginning of any other c-file anyway. Therefore this commit removes those duplicate inclussions. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@ascom.ch> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-01-31	batman-adv: Update copyright years	Sven Eckelmann	1	-1/+1

2010-12-20	batman-adv: Return hna count on local buffer fill	Sven Eckelmann	1	-1/+1
	hna_local_fill_buffer must return the number of added hna entries and not the last checked hash bucket. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-12-17	net: Add batman-adv meshing protocol	Sven Eckelmann	1	-0/+534
	B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The networks may be wired or wireless. See http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space tools. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
