The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit b5dcbad25219b82408e15e6d775a406be2116af1 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Wed Jun 29 23:45:57 2016 +0200

batman-adv: Fix consistency of update route messages

The debug messages of _batadv_update_route were printed before the actual route change is done. At this point it is not really known which curr_router will be replaced. Thus the messages could print the wrong operation.

Printing the debug messages after the operation was done avoids this problem.
