The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They are
already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. Add an Kconfig
option to disable the sysfs support for users who want to test their tools
or want to safe some space. This setting should currently still be enabled
by default to keep backward compatible with legacy tools.

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.

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.
Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require
access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet
packets.

The documentation describing kernel-doc comments for functions ("How to
format kernel-doc comments") uses parentheses at the end of the function
name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding
documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a
different kernel-doc section.

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).
The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
requirements at the same time.

With this patch the maximum fragment size is reduced from 1400 to 1280
bytes.
Fragmentation v2 correctly uses the smaller of 1400 and the interface
MTU, thus generally supporting interfaces with an MTU < 1400 bytes, too.
However, currently "Fragmentation v2" does not support re-fragmentation.
Which means that once a packet is split into two packets of 1400 + x
bytes for instance and the next hop provides an interface with an even
smaller MTU of 1280 bytes, then the larger fragment is lost.
A maximum fragment size of 1280 bytes is a safer option as this is the
minimum MTU required by IPv6, making interfaces with an MTU < 1280
rather exotic.
Regarding performance, this should have no negative impact on unicast
traffic: Having some more bytes in the smaller and some less in the
larger does not change the sum of both fragments.
Concerning TT, choosing 1280 bytes fragments might result in more TT
messages than necessary when a large network is bridged into batman-adv.
However, the TT overhead in general is marginal due to its reactive
nature, therefore such a performance impact on TT should not be
noticeable for a user.

Instead of latching onto the OGM period, this patch introduces a worker
dedicated to multicast TT and TVLV updates.
The reasoning is, that upon roaming especially the translation table
should be updated timely to minimize connectivity issues.
With BATMAN V, the idea is to greatly increase the OGM interval to
reduce overhead. Unfortunately, right now this could lead to
a bad user experience if multicast traffic is involved.
Therefore this patch introduces a fixed 500ms update interval for
multicast TT entries and the multicast TVLV.

The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.
It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.
The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.

There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't
detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two
LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that:
A...(mesh1)...B
| |
(LAN1) (LAN2)
| |
C...(mesh2)...D
Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop
avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop
in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily,
these kind of loops can be detected.
This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for
now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on
each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address
is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a
loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others
handle that problem.

In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation
won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric
will become obsolete.
With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending
unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links. These sampling
packets will fill an entire frame, so that the measurement is as
reliable as possible

In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).
Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).
The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.
In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.
This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.
