Hello David,

this is the new version of my last pull request (issued on 2012-04-25). This patchset is intended for net-next/linux-3.5.

Since last series I only removed the biggest_unsigned_int() macro.

Let me know if there is any other problem.

Thank you, Antonio

batman-adv: split neigh_new function into generic and batman iv specific parts (2012-04-29 10:50:10 +0200)

---------------------------------------------------------------- Included changes:

* a new feature has been introduced: D.A.T. (Distributed ARP Table). It is a mechanism based on DHT theory that creates a distributed (mesh network wide) ARP cache in order to speed up ARP resolutions in sparse wireless mesh networks. * in order to satisfy DAT requirements a new unicast packet type, namely UNICAST_4ADDR, has been introduced. Backward compatibility has been kept: not updated nodes will simply drop the packet and ignore DAT mechanism. * minor fixes and cleanups * minor routing protocol API cleanups

---------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Quartulli (9): batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet type batman-adv: add a new log level for DAT debugging batman-adv: add biggest_unsigned_int(x) macro batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper functions batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add ARP parsing functions batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - increase default soft_iface ARP table timeout batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add compile option batman-adv: fix wrong dhcp option list browsing

Marek Lindner (6): batman-adv: introduce is_single_hop_neigh variable to increase readability batman-adv: introduce packet type handler array for incoming packets batman-adv: register batman ogm receive function during protocol init batman-adv: rename last_valid to last_seen batman-adv: replace HZ calculations with jiffies_to_msecs() batman-adv: split neigh_new function into generic and batman iv specific parts
