2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
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 This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files.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.

2020-12-04batman-adv: Allow selection of routing algorithm over rtnetlinkSven Eckelmann1-2/+8
A batadv net_device is associated to a B.A.T.M.A.N. routing algorithm. This algorithm has to be selected before the interface is initialized and cannot be changed after that. The only way to select this algorithm was a module parameter which specifies the default algorithm used during the creation of the net_device. This module parameter is writeable over /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo and thus allows switching of the routing algorithm: 1. change routing_algo parameter 2. create new batadv net_device But this is not race free because another process can be scheduled between 1 + 2 and in that time frame change the routing_algo parameter again. It is much cleaner to directly provide this information inside the rtnetlink's RTM_NEWLINK message. The two processes would be (in regards of the creation parameter of their batadv interfaces) be isolated. This also eases the integration of batadv devices inside tools like network-manager or systemd-networkd which are not expecting to operate on /sys before a new net_device is created.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add kernel-doc to externally visible functionsSven Eckelmann1-0/+27
According to the kernel-doc documentation, externally visible functions should be documented. This refers to all all non-static function which can (and will) be used by functions in other sources files.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Use parentheses in function kernel-docSven Eckelmann1-3/+4
The documentation describing kernel-doc comments for functions ("How to format kernel-doc comments") uses parentheses at the end of the function name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a different kernel-doc section.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright headerSven Eckelmann1-0/+1
The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time.

2016-08-09batman-adv: Allow to disable debugfs supportSven Eckelmann1-0/+2
The files provided by batman-adv via debugfs are currently converted to netlink. Tools which are not yet converted to use the netlink interface may still rely on the old debugfs files. But systems which already upgraded their tools can save some space by disabling this feature. The default configuration of batman-adv on amd64 can reduce the size of the module by around 11% when this feature is disabled. $ size net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko* text data bss dec hex filename 150507 10395 4160 165062 284c6 net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko.y 137106 7099 2112 146317 23b8d net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko.n Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

2016-07-04batman-adv: split routing API data structure in subobjectsAntonio Quartulli1-7/+7
The routing API data structure contains several function pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the component they work with. Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability. At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations much much longer.

2016-06-30batman-adv: move bat_algo functions into a separate fileSven Eckelmann1-0/+140
The bat_algo functionality in main.c is mostly unrelated to the rest of the content. It still takes up a large portion of this source file (~15%, 103 lines). Moving it to a separate file makes it better visible as a main component of the batman-adv implementation and hides it less in the other helper functions in main.c.
