2011-08-22batman-adv: correct several typ0s in the commentsAntonio Quartulli1-1/+1
Several typos have been corrected and some sentences have been rephrased Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2011-05-30batman-adv: Calculate sizeof using variable insead of typesSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...); to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are directly associated with p. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2011-05-30batman-adv: Add const type qualifier for pointersSven Eckelmann1-3/+3
batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a cast to the non-const version. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

2011-01-31batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packetsSven Eckelmann1-0/+23
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.

2010-12-16net: Add batman-adv meshing protocolSven Eckelmann1-0/+35
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>
