2011-01-31batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packetsSven Eckelmann1-0/+1
The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL. The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads. The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the configured MTUs.

2011-01-16batman-adv: Use "__attribute__" shortcut macrosSven Eckelmann1-7/+7
Linux 2.6.21 defines different macros for __attribute__ which are also used inside batman-adv. The next version of checkpatch.pl warns about the usage of __attribute__((packed))). Linux 2.6.33 defines an extra macro __always_unused which is used to assist source code analyzers and can be used to removed the last existing __attribute__ inside the source code.

2010-12-16net: Add batman-adv meshing protocolSven Eckelmann1-0/+136
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>
