By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
This patch adds the functionality to detect other batman-adv nodes
connected to the LAN and select a 'gateway' to talk to the
non-batman-adv devices on this LAN. All traffic from and to the mesh
will be handled by this gateway to avoid the loop. OGMs received via
the soft-interface are interpreted as 'port announcements' to locate
potential batman-adv nodes. The patch can also deal with vlans on
top of batX and offers a list of LAN neighbors via debugfs.

This patch removes all remaining global variables and includes the
necessary bits into the bat_priv structure. It is the last
remaining piece to allow multiple concurrent mesh clouds on the
same device.
A few global variables have been rendered obsolete during the process
and have been removed entirely.

This patch replaces the static bat0 interface with a dynamic/abstracted
approach. It is now possible to create multiple batX interfaces by
assigning hard interfaces to them. Each batX interface acts as an
independent mesh network. A soft interface is removed once no hard
interface references it any longer.

my_skb_push provided an easy way to allocate enough headroom in
situation were we don't have enough space left and move the data pointer
to the new position, but we didn't checked wether we are allowed to
write to the new pushed header. This is for example a problem when the
skb was cloned and thus doesn't have a private data part.
my_skb_head_push now replaces my_skb_push by using skb_cow_head to
provide only a large enough, writable header without testing for the
rest of the (maybe shared) data. It will also move the data pointer
using skb_push when skb_cow_head doesn't fail.
This should give us enough flexibility in situation were skbs will be
queued by underlying layers and still doesn't unnecessarily copy the
data in situations when the skb was consumed right away during
dev_queue_xmit.

We include different header files indirectly to the same source file.
This creates weird compiler errors from time to time. Include guards
should prefend that functions/variables/... gets redefined by itself.

Functions and variables which are used only inside one object file can
be declared as static. This helped to find unused functions/variables
* mainIfAddr_default
* main_if_was_up
and functions with declarations but missing definitions
* hash_debug
* orig_find
* send_own_packet_work

This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.
Some consequences and comments:
* we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
anymore. This should boost performance.
* packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
* no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
packets
* this might introduce new race conditions.
* aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
converted.
* all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
of these locks might be reverted later.
* skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead
performance differences:
* we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
* bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
* ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms
I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
networks may be wired or wireless. See
http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
tools.
This is the first submission for inclusion in staging.
