The batadv_hardif_enable_interface is now only called from the callback
ndo_add_slave. This callback is only used by do_set_master in the rtnetlink
code which only does two things:
1. remove the net_device from its old master
2. add the net_device to its new batadv master
The code to replicate the first step in batman-adv is therefore unused
since the sysfs code was dropped.

The sysfs code for the batman-adv/mesh_iface file was receiving a string of
the batadv interface. This interface name was then provided to the code
which shared sysfs+rtnetlink code for attaching an hard-interface to an
batadv interface. The rtnetlink code was also using the (extracted)
interface name from the ndo_add_slave callback to increase the shared code
- even when it would have been more efficient to use the provided
net_device object directly instead of searching it again (based on its
name) in batadv_hardif_enable_interface.
But this indirect handling is no longer necessary because the sysfs code
was dropped. There is now only a single code path which is using
batadv_hardif_enable_interface.

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity
regarding the publishing year.
This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright
year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead.
More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the

The function batadv_hardif_remove_interfaces was meant to remove all

In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities

to consider one of them as a backup only.
Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are
configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them

an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty.

Each slave interface of an B.A.T.M.A.N. IV virtual interface has an OGM
packet buffer which is initialized using data from netdevice notifier and
other rtnetlink related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave
interfaces of the batadv virtual interface and in this process also
modified (realloced) to integrate additional state information via TVLV
containers.
It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock
with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either
happen that half modified/freed data is sent out or functions modifying the
OGM buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
Because we don't care if debugfs works or not, this trickles back a bit
so we can clean things up by making some functions return void instead
of an error value that is never going to fail.

The state of slave interfaces are handled differently depending on whether
the interface is up or not. All active interfaces (IFF_UP) will transmit
OGMs. But for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV, also non-active interfaces are scheduling
(low TTL) OGMs on active interfaces. The code which setups and schedules
the OGMs must therefore already be called when the interfaces gets added as
slave interface and the transmit function must then check whether it has to
send out the OGM or not on the specific slave interface.
But the commit f0d97253fb ("batman-adv: remove ogm_emit and ogm_schedule
API calls") moved the setup code from the enable function to the activate
function. The latter is called either when the added slave was already up
when batadv_hardif_enable_interface processed the new interface or when a
NETDEV_UP event was received for this slave interfac. As result, each
NETDEV_UP would schedule a new OGM worker for the interface and thus OGMs
would be send a lot more than expected.

The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the
kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to
interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that
either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either
receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.
Commit 670dc2833d ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a
mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide
whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.
The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid
changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation
sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring
originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted
the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface
specific, a resizable array was used in each originator.
This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes
(for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could
cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough
continuous memory is available to allocate the array.
There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo"
which can be used to store this information.

batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface.
It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the
correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps.
The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next
interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the
architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave
interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave
interfaces).
This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus
an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char
type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with
a negative size.
The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly
smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code.
Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be
(unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net
core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of
active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

Things like VLANs don't have their link set when they are created. Thus
the wifi flags have to be evaluated later to fix their contents for the
link interface.

[sven.eckelmann@open-mesh.com: re-add batadv_get_real_netdev to take rtnl
semaphore for batadv_get_real_netdevice]

In a few situations batman-adv tries to determine whether a given interface
is a WiFi interface to enable specific WiFi optimizations. If the interface
batman-adv has been configured with is a virtual interface (e.g. VLAN) it
would not be properly detected as WiFi interface and thus not benefit from
the special WiFi treatment.
This patch changes that by peeking under the hood whenever a virtual
interface is in play.

[sven.eckelmann@open-mesh.com: integrate in wifi_flags caching, retrieve
namespace of link interface]

batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some
of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the
semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be
taken.
The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because
some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl
lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions
is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits
without imposing extra locking requirements.
