[PATCH net v2 1/2] batman-adv: reject new tp_meter sessions during teardown

[Ren Wei]

From: Jiexun Wang <wangjiexun2025@gmail.com>

Prevent tp_meter from starting new sender or receiver sessions after
mesh_state has left BATADV_MESH_ACTIVE.

[PATCH net v2 2/2] batman-adv: stop tp_meter sessions during mesh teardown

[Ren Wei]

From: Jiexun Wang <wangjiexun2025@gmail.com>

TP meter sessions remain linked on bat_priv->tp_list after the netlink
request has already finished. When the mesh interface is removed,
batadv_mesh_free() currently tears down the mesh without first draining
these sessions.

A running sender thread or a late incoming tp_meter packet can then keep
processing against a mesh instance which is already shutting down.
Synchronize tp_meter with the mesh lifetime by stopping all active
sessions from batadv_mesh_free() and waiting for sender threads to exit
before teardown continues.

Hi Ren,

An AI generated review of this patch-set is available on sashiko.dev.
Could you take a look over that. I expect that some follow-up patches
are warranted.

I have some question regarding sashiko.dev - not sure if you can answer this. 
When I get a patch for review (the the newest one from Ren), sashiko marked it 
as "Embargoed" and I can't see it in b4. I have no idea why this is the case 
and I am unsure what I should do in this case:

* ignore sashiko
* wait until sashiko lifts the embargo
* ...

Maybe there is some document which explains it further and you can just point 
me in the right direction.

And just a question from Simon: sashiko.dev is meant as read-only platform, 
right? So, no way to write a rebuttal for wrong statements, correct?

Regards,
	Sven

Embargo as a feature was requested by Jakub to prevent people from
posting 10 versions of patch per day. Currently all netdev patches are
embargoed for 24h.

Re writing feedback for reviews: sashiko support sending reviews over
