The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit 128254ceea6ffe59300d3cca6fc83b842048f4c4 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sun Oct 11 12:25:23 2020 +0200

batman-adv: Prepare infrastructure for newlink settings

The batadv generic netlink family can be used to retrieve the current state and set various configuration settings. But there are also settings which must be set before the actual interface is created.

The rtnetlink already uses IFLA_INFO_DATA to allow net_device families to transfer such configurations. The minimal required functionality for this is now available for the batadv rtnl_link_ops. Also a new IFLA class of attributes will be attached to it because rtnetlink only allows 51 different attributes but batadv_nl_attrs already contains 62 attributes.
