Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/15] batman-adv: use more descriptive var names for is_similar_or_better
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:51:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831135117.574836-6-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831135117.574836-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

neigh1 and neigh2 is not really helpful when looking at a code which needs
to judge the metric similarity between a candidate and a reference. This
already caused an implementation error in the B.A.T.M.A.N. V bonding code.
Simply using "reference" and "candidate" for the neighbors is a lot more
descriptive and makes it easier to understand the code.
