[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Batman-adv 2014.1.0 and 2014.0.0 issues with 3.10 and 3.8 kernels

[Bruno Antunes]

Hi,

Are recent batman-acv versions unusable with 3.10 or 3.8 kernels?

The reason i'm asking is that with 2104.1.0 with two connected sta after restarting the wifi
(also the same if restarting all the network) it gives the following message: 

root@Laguna1:/etc/config# wifi
[37620.920000] batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: adhoc0
[37621.140000] batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: adhoc0
[37621.250000] br-mesh: port 2(bat0) entered disabled state
[37621.250000] device bat0 left promiscuous mode
[37621.260000] br-mesh: port 2(bat0) entered disabled state
[37631.340000] unregister_netdevice: waiting for adhoc0 to become free. Usage count = 1
[37641.390000] unregister_netdevice: waiting for adhoc0 to become free. Usage count = 1
[37651.410000] unregister_netdevice: waiting for adhoc0 to become free. Usage count = 1
…

And only restarting is possible to get the device back to work.

Going back to 2014.0.0 it's worst with the system being very unstable and continuously restarting.

After following the instructions from cmsv <cmsv@wirelesspt.net>
and replacing the feeds.conf with
src-git routing https://github.com/libre-mesh/openwrt-routing-packages

I was able to compile the 2013.4.0 release which is very stable.

But I really would like the vlan support from recent releases.

My systems are: 
Laguna board
OpenWrt trunk r38938
batctl 2013.4.0 [batman-adv: 2013.4.0]
Linux Laguna1 3.8.13 #6 SMP Thu Mar 27 16:10:18 WET 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

Router station
OpenWrt trunk r38938
batctl 2013.4.0 [batman-adv: 2013.4.0]
Linux RSPro2 3.10.18 #2 Thu Mar 27 18:24:29 WET 2014 mips GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance,
Bruno

This is a known 2014.1.0 regression which recently has been fixed. You can 
either update your openwrt package to fetch these fixes or extract the patches 
from our batman-adv git repository or wait for the next release.

Note that this is not the official openwrt-routing repository but a fork 
maintained by 'people on the internet'. If you do experience problems with the 
code coming from this repository, please contact the people maintaining this 
fork.

As far as i know; it is a clone of the batman-adv 2013.* without any
modification. Perhaps the maintainer could shed some light into this
subject.
https://github.com/libre-mesh/openwrt-routing-packages/tree/master/batman-adv
I have it fully working without any problems as a clone of batman-adv
2013.* without any modifications from "people on the internet".

There are also other ways to use the current official
openwrt-routing-packages repository and selecting only the 2013.* releases.

Indeed, currently it's just a "snapshot" of the official 
openwrt-routing/packages as it was back in december.

I guess cmsv suggested Bruno to use this as an easy way to get 2013.4.0 
source code, instead of properly checking out an older version of the 
official repo

something like

     $ cd feeds/routing
     $ git log batman-adv # find your favorite old version
     $ git checkout e2cfab7f287673b1d6854c59db6e710668d145f3

As long as those people on the internet don't decide is time to move 
"master" further on, and break your tree on your next git pull :)

Indeed, and you should do so,

maybe even add your own frozen fork to the list,
https://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages/network
and be surprised when another random folk starts using it? yay! :P

cheerfully,

IMHO this does not work, because 'scripts/feeds' throws away
the history ("git clone --depth 1").

Compiled with the latest update (31 Mar) and up until now it's working fine on both devices.

Didn't found any problems with this fork.

But has Gui commented I could have used the official repository to compile previous versions.
We are always learning...

I did not mean to imply using some other repository is necessarily a bad 
thing. Just keep in mind to bother the right people _in case_ something goes 
awry.
