Hi Jakub, hi David,

here is a cleanup pull request of batman-adv to go into net-next.

This time we use a https pull request link as we have turned off our
public git protocol server - sorry for the hiccup last time, I hope
everything is smooth now.

Please pull or let me know of any problem!

Thank you,
      Simon

This version will contain all the (major or even only minor) changes for
Linux 6.18.

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).

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The Network Coding feature, introduced in 2013, is based on the master
thesis "Inter-Flow Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks". It relies on
the assumption that neighboring mesh nodes can reliably overhear each
other's transmissions in promiscuous mode, allowing packets to be combined
to reduce forwarding overhead.

This assumption no longer holds for modern wireless mesh networks, which
are heterogeneous and make overhearing increasingly unreliable. Factors
such as multiple spatial streams, varying data rates, beamforming, and
OFDMA all prevent nodes from consistently overhearing each other. The current
implementation in batman-adv is not able to detect these conditions and would
require a more complex layer beyond its neighbor discovery process to do so.

In addition, the feature has been unmaintained for years and is discouraged
for use. None of the current maintainers have the required test
setup to verify its functionality, and known issues remain in its data
structures (reference counting, RCU usage, and cleanup handling). Its
continued presence also blocks necessary refactoring of the core originator
infrastructure.

Remove this obsolete and unmaintained feature.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The batadv_skb_crc32() helper was shared between Bridge Loop Avoidance and
Network Coding. With the removal of the network coding feature, it is
possible to just move this helper directly to Bridge Loop Avoidance.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

It is not necessary to include the header for the struct definition for an
"extern " declaration. It can simply be dropped from the headers to reduce
the number of includes the preprocessor has to process. If needed, it can
be added to the actual C source file.

Has using skb_crc32c() been considered here?

No. At the time this was written (v3.8), skb_crc32c (v6.16) didnt exist. Also 
its predecessor __skb_checksum only started its existence in v3.13. And no one 
noticed it as candidate to replace batadv_skb_crc32 with

And this patch here was just moving the function between two places - so not 
introducing new code.

Do you want to submit a patch to integrate your new function in batman-adv? I 
only performed a quick-and-dirty test to see if it returns the same results 
and it seemed to do its job fine.

send the patch.  Thanks!
