batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A

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().

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
the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

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.

Both translation tables and network coding use timeouts to do house

Using throw_uevent() is now possible to trigger uevent signal that can
be recognised in userspace. Uevents will be triggered through the
/devices/virtual/net/{MESH_IFACE} kobject.

A triggered uevent has three properties:
- type: the event class. Who generates the event (only 'gw' is currently
  defined). Corresponds to the BATTYPE uevent variable.
- action: the associated action with the event ('add'/'change'/'del' are
  currently defined). Corresponds to the BATACTION uevent variable.
- data: any useful data for the userspace. Corresponds to the BATDATA
  uevent variable.

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.

The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.

It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
 - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
   connected clients)
 - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
   OGM losses

The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.

To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.

When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.
