From: Antonio Quartulli ordex@autistici.org
In case of a client roaming from node A to node B, the latter have to mark the corresponding global entry with TT_CLIENT_ROAM (instead of TT_CLIENT_PENDING).
Marking a global entry with TT_CLIENT_PENDING will end up in keeping such entry forever (because this flag is only meant to be used with local entries and it is never checked on global ones).
In the worst case (all the clients roaming to the same node A) the local and the global table will contain exactly the same clients. Batman-adv will continue to work, but the memory usage is duplicated.
