With multi-gateway there it seems the general problems how to influence the batman-adv gateway announcement in respect of gateway capabilities.
Can you explain in greater detail what you are trying to achieve ?
Additionally we encountered the problem that a gateway lost uptream connection(internet) without switching itself from server to client, so nodes with path to that gateway routes their resp.clients to a "black hole". Question is how generally control the batman-adv routing in those cases.
If you control the gateways the gateway should detect the uplink failure and stop announcing themselves as gateway. That is how most people are doing it.
If you don't control the gateways or wish to solve this on the clients the batman-adv module would need to get extended to influence the selected gateway from user space.
