Some operations executed on an orig_node depends on the
current routing algorithm being used. To easily make this
mechanism routing algorithm agnostic add a orig_node
specific API that each algorithm can populate with its own
routines.
Such routines are then invoked by the code when needed,
without knowing which routing algorithm is currently in use
With this patch 3 API functions are added:
- orig_free (to free routing depending internal structs)
- orig_add_if (to change the inner state of an orig_node
when a new hard interface is added)
- orig_del_if (to change the inner state of an orig_node
when an hard interface is removed)

The backbone gw check has to be VLAN specific so that code
using it can specify VID where the check has to be done.
In the TT code, the check has been moved into the
tt_global_add() function so that it can be performed on a
per-entry basis instead of ignoring all the TT data received
from another backbone node. Only TT global entries belonging
to the VLAN where the backbone node is connected to are
skipped.
All the other spots where the TT code was checking whether a
node is a backbone have been removed.
Moreover, batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw_orig() now returns bool
since it used to return only 1 or 0.

This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a
per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to
store only some of the global entries advertised by another
node.
In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial
global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC
anymore.
This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN.
In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to
some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and
still check the table correctness.
With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too
because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all
the VLANs that it is wired to.
The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows
the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common
value for the entire table anymore.

A TT response may be prepared and sent while the local or
global translation table is getting updated.
The worst case is when one of the tables is accessed after
its content has been recently updated but the metadata
(TTVN/CRC) has not yet. In this case the reader will get a
table content which does not match the TTVN/CRC.
This will lead to an inconsistent state and so to a TT
recovery.
To avoid entering this situation, put a lock around those TT
operations recomputing the metadata and around the TT
Response creation (the latter is the only reader that
accesses the metadata together with the table).

The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and
parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward
compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value
technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a
node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply
skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience
has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added
right from the start to allow differentiating between feature
variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue).
This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure:
* register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM
(on primary interfaces only)
* register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon
finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer
* unicast tvlv send / receive API calls

When a packet is received from another node first and later from the
best next hop, this packet is dropped. However the first OGM was sent
with the BATADV_NOT_BEST_NEXT_HOP flag and thus dropped by neighbors.
The late OGM from the best neighbor is then dropped because it is a
duplicate.
If this situation happens constantly, a node might end up not forwarding
the "valid" OGMs anymore, and nodes behind will starve from not getting
valid OGMs.
Fix this by refining the duplicate checking behaviour: The actions
should depend on whether it was a duplicate for a neighbor only or for
the originator. OGMs which are not duplicates for a specific neighbor
will now be considered in batadv_iv_ogm_forward(), but only actually
forwarded for the best next hop. Therefore, late OGMs from the best
next hop are forwarded now and not dropped as duplicates anymore.

The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in
batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is
looked up.
To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is
transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from
boolean to int.

Since the MSB bits of any vid variable are now used for

In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the
semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has
to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which
will be used batman-adv wide.
In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int"
and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the
remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value

Instead of passing a generic combination of flags as
argument, it is easier to pass the entire tt_common

bitfield of event flags that will be unified with
the already existing ones before inserting the client

In this way invocations of the modified function can be

While it makes sense to send each broadcast thrice on 802.11 (WLAN) interfaces
as broadcasts are often unreliable on these, there is no reason to do so on
other interface types.
The increased the overhead can be harmful on low-bandwidth links like VPN
connections over slow internet lines, therefore it is better to reduce the
number of broadcast packets sent on non-wireless links to one.

rcu_barrier() only waits for the currently scheduled rcu functions
to finish - it won't wait for any function scheduled via another
call_rcu() within an rcu scheduled function.
Unfortunately our batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_free_ref() does just that,
via a batadv_orig_node_free_ref() call, leading to our rcu_barrier()
call potentially missing such a batadv_orig_node_free_ref().
This patch fixes this issue by calling the batadv_orig_node_free_rcu()
directly from the rcu callback, removing the unnecessary, additional
call_rcu() layer here.

batadv_mesh_free() schedules some RCU callbacks which need the bat_priv struct
to do their jobs, while free_netdev(), which is called immediately after, is

Put an rcu_barrier() in the middle so that free_netdev() is invoked only after
all the callbacks returned.
