The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces.
An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip":
$ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0

Hello Sven,
why are we adding yet another API? What's the purpose? Is this intended to fix the lock bug we get while using sysfs?
Cheers,
