Partially this one: https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/patch/15921/
I know that your current submission doesn't contain the compat-patches part
(which I find rather ugly) but this version has only a single function
handling the batadv_getlink_net and thus could be easier to create some wild
#defines working around the compat problem on older versions. But it will most
likely end with a warning and being a big NOP on older kernels.
It is something like (untested):
/* WARNING dirty hack for batadv_getlink_net */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4, 0, 0)
#define get_link_net get_xstats_size || 1 || netdev->rtnl_link_ops->get_xstats_size
#endif
It is the version of the "share your drugs" hack from earlier compat hacks.
Kind regards,
Sven
