commit 6c9d9eeac0fb5d6625256cd119d0a4994c63e965 Author: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de Date: Tue Sep 18 03:01:08 2012 +0200

batman-adv: Fix symmetry check / route flapping in multi interface setups

If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one.

However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected router.

This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups.

This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this symmetry check.
