  • While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use
    forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together
    with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and
    fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon,
    ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/
    is mostly not using them in *.c file.

  • The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They are
    already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. Add an Kconfig
    option to disable the sysfs support for users who want to test their tools
    or want to safe some space. This setting should currently still be enabled
    by default to keep backward compatible with legacy tools.

  • All files got a SPDX-License-Identifier with commit 7db7d9f369a4
    ("batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header"). All the
    required information about the license conditions can be found in
    LICENSES/.

  • All structs in types.h are already documented. But some other headers
    still have private structs which also should be documented.

  • The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
    license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).

    The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
    restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
    licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
    requirements at the same time.

  • 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.

  • Each VLAN can now have its own set of attributes which are
    exported through a new subfolder in the sysfs tree.
    Each VLAN created on top of a soft_iface will have its own
    subfolder.

    The subfolder is named "vlan%VID" and it is created inside
    the "mesh" sysfs folder belonging to batman-adv.

    Attributes corresponding to the untagged LAN are stored in
    the root sysfs folder as before.

    This patch also creates all the needed macros and data
    structures to easily handle new VLAN spacific attributes.

  • The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and
    debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these
    files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm.

    The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main
    part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets
    renamed.
