[Marek Lindner]

Hi David,

our testers have discovered a regression in the current linux-3.1
code base. It increases latency of payload traffic by a factor of
4-5. Therefore we propose a patch that hopefully can be included 
before linux 3.1 final has been released. We kept it as short as 
possible to avoid introducing last minute bugs.

Once you pulled the patch you will run into a merge conflict
with net-next:
++<<<<<<< HEAD
 + orig_node = transtable_search(bat_priv, ethhdr->h_source,
 +                               ethhdr->h_dest);
 + if (is_multicast_ether_addr(ethhdr->h_dest) ||
 + (orig_node && orig_node->gw_flags)) {
++=======
+ orig_node = transtable_search(bat_priv, ethhdr->h_dest);
+ do_bcast = is_multicast_ether_addr(ethhdr->h_dest);
+ if (do_bcast || (orig_node && orig_node->gw_flags)) {
++>>>>>>> batman-adv/maint

The correct merge result would be:
+======
orig_node = transtable_search(bat_priv, ethhdr->h_source,
                              ethhdr->h_dest);
do_bcast = is_multicast_ether_addr(ethhdr->h_dest);
if (do_bcast || (orig_node && orig_node->gw_flags)) {
+======

Let me know if there is a better way to address the merge conflict.

Thanks,
Marek

[PATCH] batman-adv: do_bcast has to be true for broadcast packets only

[Marek Lindner]

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

corrects a critical bug of the GW feature. This bug made all the unicast
packets destined to a GW to be sent as broadcast. This bug is present even if
the sender GW feature is configured as OFF. It's an urgent bug fix and should
be committed as soon as possible.

This was a regression introduced by 43676ab590c3f8686fd047d34c3e33803eef71f0
