Please correct me if I am wrong. I would hereby try to send some patches directly to the netdev mailing list instead of waiting any longer for the patches to be forwarded. There are more non-feature patches [1] waiting in the batman-adv repo (everything after "batman-adv: fix alignment" from 2014-05-15) but these don't seem to be related to crashes. At least the first patch caused crashes in real world scenarios [2] and could also be used to crash a mesh node on-demand. The last patch has its bug report in the linux bug tracker [3]. The second patch is a wrong size calculation but no problem was yet observed in the wild. All patches fix problems which were introduced in Linux 3.13.
