Now that the GW-mode code is algorithm specific, batman-adv expects the
routing algorithm to implement some APIs to make it work.
However, such APIs are not mandatory, therefore we might have algorithms
not providing them. In this case all the sysfs knobs related to GW-mode
should be deactivated to make sure that settings injected by the user
for this feature are rejected.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm uses a different metric compared to its
predecessor and for this reason the logic used to compute the best
Gateway is also changed. This means that the GW selection class
fed to this logic has a semantics that depends on the algorithm being
used.
Make the parsing and printing routine of the GW selection class
routing algorithm specific. Each algorithm can now parse (and print)
this value independently.
If no API is provided by any algorithm, the default is to use the
current mechanism of considering such value like an integer between
1 and 255.

The kobject_put is only removing the sysfs entry and corresponding entries
when its reference counter becomes zero. This tends to lead to collisions
when a device is moved between two different network namespaces because
some of the sysfs files have to be removed first and then added again to
the already moved sysfs entry.

The legacy sysfs interface to modify interfaces belonging to batman-adv
is run inside a region holding s_lock. And to add a net_device, it has
to also get the rtnl_lock. This is exactly the other way around than in
other virtual net_devices and conflicts with netdevice notifier which
executes inside rtnl_lock.
The inverted lock situation is currently solved by executing the removal
of netdevices via workqueue. The workqueue isn't executed inside
rtnl_lock and thus can independently get the s_lock and the rtnl_lock.
But this workaround fails when the netdevice notifier creates events in
quick succession and the earlier triggered removal of a net_device isn't
processed in the workqueue before the adding of the new netdevice (with
same name) event is issued.
Instead the legacy sysfs interface store events have to be enqueued in
a workqueue to loose the s_lock. The worker is then free to get the
required locks and the deadlock is avoided.

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.

The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.
Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.
The order for include blocks are:
* primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
* global linux headers
* required local headers
* extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations
The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple
packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR
two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The
receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded
packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased
throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay.
In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions
without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one
from Node B to Node A:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B
4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B
With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves
us one slot of valuable airtime:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B
The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the
packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D,
respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save
one transmission:
Node A Node B
| \ / |
| p1 p2 |
| \ / |
p1 > Node R < p2
| |
| / \ |
| p1 x p2 p1 x p2 |
v / \ v
/ \
Node C < > Node D
More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1].
This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in
batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a
sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by
default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and
also because it adds a small delay at each hop.
