With the new interface alternating, the first hop may send packets
in a round robin fashion to it's neighbors because it has multiple
valid routes built by the multi interface optimization. This patch
enables the feature if bonding is selected. Note that unlike the
bonding implemented before, this version is much simpler and may
even enable multi path routing to a certain degree.

The current OGM sending an aggregation functionality decides on
which interfaces a packet should be sent when it parses the forward
packet struct. However, with the network wide multi interface
optimization the outgoing interface is decided by the OGM processing
function.
This is reflected by moving the decision in the OGM processing function
and add the outgoing interface in the forwarding packet struct. This
practically implies that an OGM may be added multiple times (once per
outgoing interface), and this also affects aggregation which needs to
consider the outgoing interface as well.

If the same interface is used for sending and receiving, there might be
throughput degradation on half-duplex interfaces such as WiFi. Add a
penalty if the same interface is used to reflect this problem in the
metric. At the same time, change the hop penalty from 30 to 15 so there
will be no change for single wifi mesh network. the effective hop
penalty will stay at 30 due to the new wifi penalty for these networks.

This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the
mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the
source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can
be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be
restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb.
This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter
policies.
This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask".
Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while
$mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits

In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server
or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages
to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of
using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP
Discover/Requests to the "best" server.
On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts,
but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as
well.
This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops
and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they
were generated by a DHCP server or client.

If an interface enslaved into batman-adv is a bridge (or a
virtual interface built on top of a bridge) the nf_bridge
member of the skbs reaching the soft-interface is filled
with the state about "netfilter bridge" operations.
Then, if one of such skbs is locally delivered, the nf_bridge
member should be cleaned up to avoid that the old state
could mess up with other "netfilter bridge" operations when
entering a second bridge.
This is needed because batman-adv is an encapsulation
protocol.
However at the moment skb->nf_bridge is not released at all
leading to bogus "netfilter bridge" behaviours.
Fix this by cleaning the netfilter state of the skb before
it gets delivered to the upper layer in interface_rx().

This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a
per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to
store only some of the global entries advertised by another
node.
In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial
global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC
anymore.
This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN.
In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to
some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and
still check the table correctness.
With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too
because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all
the VLANs that it is wired to.
The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows
the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common

A TT response may be prepared and sent while the local or
global translation table is getting updated.
The worst case is when one of the tables is accessed after
its content has been recently updated but the metadata
(TTVN/CRC) has not yet. In this case the reader will get a
table content which does not match the TTVN/CRC.
This will lead to an inconsistent state and so to a TT
recovery.
To avoid entering this situation, put a lock around those TT
operations recomputing the metadata and around the TT
Response creation (the latter is the only reader that
accesses the metadata together with the table).
