[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 3/3] batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu

Martin Hundebøll
2013-05-13T20:23:02Z

Non-broadcast packets larger than MTU are fragmented and sent with
an encapsulating header. Up to 16 fragments are supported, which are
sent in reverse order on the wire to allow minimal memory copying when
creating fragments.

Signed-off-by: Martin Hundebøll <martin@hundeboll.net>
---

v2:
change commit message to explain the reverse order of packets
remove parentheses and capital letters from kernel doc
merge return statement for batadv_frag_create()
add spaces around *-multiplication
add kernel doc for FRAG_TX counters and frag_seqno
