This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the
batman-adv binary or not.
It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting

Since batman-adv cannot inter-operate with the host ARP table, this patch

otherwise for instance overwrite variables which other threads might
be using/reading at the same time in the top half, potentially
leading to messing up the bcast_duplist, possibly resulting in false

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets
hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This
becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the
member name.

The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table
and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in
the bat_priv main struct.

Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported
through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and
includes:
 forwarded packets and bytes
 management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point)
 translation table packets

New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and
adding corresponding  descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in
soft-iface.c.

Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented
by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

In the code we neever need to atomically check and set the bat_priv->tt_crc
field value. It is simply set and read once in different pieces of the code.
Therefore this field can be safely be converted from atomic_t to uint16_t.

When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the
backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this
broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of
received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).

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.

With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.
