This version will contain all the (major or even only minor) changes for Linux 6.1. 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>

2021-05-17batman-adv: bcast: queue per interface, if neededLinus Lüssing1-1/+0
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 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 This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files.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.

2019-05-25batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdeclsSven Eckelmann1-5/+4
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.

2019-03-25batman-adv: Make sysfs support optionalSven Eckelmann1-0/+2
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 Eckelmann1-0/+1
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.

2017-12-21batman-adv: Convert packet.h to uapi headerSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as userspace header. Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet packets.

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.

2017-05-23batman-adv: decrease maximum fragment sizeMatthias Schiffer1-1/+1
With this patch the maximum fragment size is reduced from 1400 to 1280 bytes. Fragmentation v2 correctly uses the smaller of 1400 and the interface MTU, thus generally supporting interfaces with an MTU < 1400 bytes, too. However, currently "Fragmentation v2" does not support re-fragmentation. Which means that once a packet is split into two packets of 1400 + x bytes for instance and the next hop provides an interface with an even smaller MTU of 1280 bytes, then the larger fragment is lost. A maximum fragment size of 1280 bytes is a safer option as this is the minimum MTU required by IPv6, making interfaces with an MTU < 1280 rather exotic. Regarding performance, this should have no negative impact on unicast traffic: Having some more bytes in the smaller and some less in the larger does not change the sum of both fragments. Concerning TT, choosing 1280 bytes fragments might result in more TT messages than necessary when a large network is bridged into batman-adv. However, the TT overhead in general is marginal due to its reactive nature, therefore such a performance impact on TT should not be noticeable for a user.
