Hi,
Marek created some patches a while ago to automatically detect the wifi
interface under virtual interfaces like VLANs. These patches had some problems
because they failed to correctly set the num_bcasts in these situations and
also had some locking problems.
The following patches try to address these by introducing a cache for the
detected wifi configuration (wifi_flags which make taking the rtnl lock in
critical section unnecessary) and by updating the num_bcast and wifi_flags
when the interface behind iflink changes.
* added patch "batman-adv: Return non-const ptr in batadv_getlink_net"
* added patch "batman-adv: Close two alignment holes in batadv_hard_iface"
* added patch "batman-adv: Cache the type of wifi device for each hardif"
* added patch "batman-adv: Update wifi flags on upper link change"
* introduced batadv_get_real_netdevice which can be used inside rtnl
locked contexts
* replaced wifi check functions with ones that use the wifi_flags cache
* use batadv_getlink_net to get the iflink net_namespace
* force rtnl_lock in batadv_get_real_netdev
Kind regards,
Sven
