commit 25022e0b154db3e9659741093d93e9fb752a3948 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Tue Oct 18 16:17:25 2016 +0200
batctl: Use rtnl to add/remove interfaces
The sysfs interface to add/remove interfaces to/from a batman-adv soft-interface was downgraded in batman-adv master to a second-class citizen. This was done because it has conceptional problems (for example locking of sysfs vs. locking of the network core code). The only direct way to modify network interfaces is rtnetlink. sysfs still exists but has to use workers which delay the actual add/del to a later point.
It is therefore prefered to use the modern rtnetlink. Only batman-adv versions older than v2013.2.0 (Linux 3.10) will not yet support the rtnl_link operations required for it to work.
