During the module shutdown procedure in batman_exit(), a rcu callback is
being scheduled (batman_exit -> hardif_remove_interfaces ->
hardif_remove_interfae -> call_rcu). However, when the kernel unloads
the module, the rcu callback might not have been executed yet, resulting
in a "unable to handle kernel paging request" in __rcu_process_callback
afterwards, causing the kernel to freeze.
The synchronize_net and synchronize_rcu in mesh_free are currently
called before the call_rcu in hardif_remove_interface and have no real
effect on it.
Therefore, we should always flush all rcu callback functions scheduled
during the shutdown procedure using synchronize_net. The call to
synchronize_rcu can be omitted because synchronize_net already calls it.

In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a

there is only one call and the return value is dropped, so it need not be

my_skb_push provided an easy way to allocate enough headroom in
situation were we don't have enough space left and move the data pointer
to the new position, but we didn't checked wether we are allowed to
write to the new pushed header. This is for example a problem when the
skb was cloned and thus doesn't have a private data part.
my_skb_head_push now replaces my_skb_push by using skb_cow_head to
provide only a large enough, writable header without testing for the
rest of the (maybe shared) data. It will also move the data pointer
using skb_push when skb_cow_head doesn't fail.
This should give us enough flexibility in situation were skbs will be
queued by underlying layers and still doesn't unnecessarily copy the

Batman-adv globally registered the batman-adv packet type and installed
a hook to batman_skb_recv(). Each interface receiving a packet with that
type would end up in this function which then had to loop through all
batman-adv internal interface structures to find the its meta data. The
more interfaces a system had the longer the loops might take. Each and
every packet goes through this function making it a performance critical
loop.
This patch installs the hook for each activated interface. The called
batman_skb_recv() can distinguish these calls, therefore avoiding the
loop through the interface structures.

It is unnecessary to generate an icmp packet in an extra memory region
and than copying it to a new allocated skb.
This also resolved the problem that we do inform the user that we
couldn't send the packet because we couldn't allocate the socket buffer.

This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic
exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The
fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames
accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the
orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature
makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast
packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address.
This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented
packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch
enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel
through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user
about the performance implications.
Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a
dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi
networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not
only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the
throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is
pretty much unusable.

to support multiple mesh devices later, we need to move global variables
like the queues into corresponding private structs bat_priv of the soft
devices.
Note that this patch still has a lot of FIXMEs and depends on the global
soft_device variable. This should be resolved later, e.g. by referencing
the parent soft device in batman_if.

The Kernighan algorithm is not able to calculate the number of set bits
in parallel and the compiler cannot replace it with optimized
instructions.
The kernel provides specialised functions for each cpu which can either
use a software implementation or hardware instruction depending on the
target cpu.

The Ethernet header is counted when transmitting a packet, so it should also
be counted when receiving a packet. With this patch, the rx_bytes and tx_bytes
statistics behave like an ordinary Ethernet interface.

The changelog is only generated on standalone releases. Thus it has no

This reverts commit 96d592ed59.
The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations
when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as
expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to
understand batman-adv packet correctly.
It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.
