This version will contain all the (major or even only minor) changes for Linux 6.16. The version number isn't a semantic version number with major and minor information. It is just encoding the year of the expected publishing as Linux -rc1 and the number of published versions this year (starting at 0). Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2025-02-22batman-adv: Switch to bitmap helper for aggregation handlingSven Eckelmann
The aggregation code duplicates code which already exists in the the bitops and bitmap helper. By switching to the bitmap helpers, operating on larger aggregations becomes possible without touching the different portions of the code which read/modify direct_link_flags.

2025-02-22batman-adv: Limit number of aggregated packets directlySven Eckelmann
The currently selected size in BATADV_MAX_AGGREGATION_BYTES (512) is chosen such that the number of possible aggregated packets is lower than 32. This number must be limited so that the type of batadv_forw_packet->direct_link_flags has enough bits to represent each packet (with the size of at least 24 bytes). This requirement is better implemented in code instead of having it inside a comment. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2025-02-22batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interfaceSven Eckelmann
The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI. But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent name again. The bulk of the renaming was done using sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \ -e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g' and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

2025-02-22batman-adv: Add support for jumbo framesSven Eckelmann
Since batman-adv is not actually depending on hardware capabilities, it has no limit on the MTU. Only the lower hard interfaces can limit it. In case these have an high enough MTU or fragmentation is enabled, a higher MTU than 1500 can be enabled.

2021-05-17batman-adv: bcast: queue per interface, if neededLinus Lüssing
Currently we schedule a broadcast packet like: 3x: [ [(re-)queue] --> for(hard-if): maybe-transmit ] The intention of queueing a broadcast packet multiple times is to increase robustness for wireless interfaces. However on interfaces which we only broadcast on once the queueing induces an unnecessary penalty. This patch restructures the queueing to be performed on a per interface basis: for(hard-if): - transmit - if wireless: [queue] --> transmit --> [requeue] --> transmit Next to the performance benefits on non-wireless interfaces this should also make it easier to apply alternative strategies for transmissions on wireless interfaces in the future (for instance sending via unicast transmissions on wireless interfaces, without queueing in batman-adv, if appropriate).

2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system.

2019-05-25batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdeclsSven Eckelmann
While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon, ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/ is mostly not using them in *.c file.

The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They are already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. Add an Kconfig option to disable the sysfs support for users who want to test their tools or want to safe some space. This setting should currently still be enabled by default to keep backward compatible with legacy tools.

2018-11-12batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detectionSven Eckelmann
The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either receive some entries multiple times or miss entries. Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again. The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.
