Hello David,
this is a pull request intended for net-next/linux-3.17 (yeah..it's really late).
Patches 1, 2 and 4 are really minor changes: - kmalloc_array is substituted to kmalloc when possible (as suggested by checkpatch); - net_ratelimited() is now used properly and the "suppressed" message is not printed anymore if not needed; - the internal version number has been increased to reflect our current version.
Patch 3 instead is introducing a change in the metric computation function by changing the penalty applied at each mesh hop from 15/255 (~6%) to 30/255 (~11%). This change is introduced by Simon Wunderlich after having observed a performance improvement in several networks when using the new value.
Please pull or let me know of any problem!
Thanks a lot, Antonio
