The mesh interface can try to detect loops in the same mesh caused by (indirectly) bridged mesh/soft-interfaces of different nodes. Some of the loops can also be resolved without breaking the mesh.
The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_BRIDGE_LOOP_AVOIDANCE attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.
