Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: iv: recover OGM scheduling after forward packet
 error
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() fails to allocate and queue a forward
packet for OGM transmission, the work item that drives periodic OGM
scheduling is never re-armed. This silently halts transmission of the
node's own OGMs on the affected interface — only OGMs from other peers
continue to be aggregated and forwarded.

Fix this by tracking whether batadv_iv_ogm_queue_add() (and transitively
batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new()) successfully scheduled a forward packet.
When scheduling fails, batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() falls back to queuing
a dedicated recovery work item (reschedule_work) that fires after one
originator interval and calls batadv_iv_ogm_schedule() again.
