This patchset adds the network wide multi interface optimization as
proposed in our wiki [1] for BATMAN IV. The main purpose is to do
interface alternating and bonding by considering multi interface
capabilities globally and not just for the (next) link, otherwise
non-optimal links may be chosen.
This patchset needs to change a lot of core data structures and
routing, please review it carefully. A local development branch
exists on the public git repo [2].
Changes from RFCv2 in September are:
* add debugfs file to view metric values for various interfaces (new patch)
* many style and kerneldoc fixes (thanks Antonio)
* use two interface parameters for bat_neigh_cmp (Antonio)
* simplify and fix last candidate usage in bonding (Antonio)
* rebase on latest master
I've tested the patchset in my VMs to confirm that bonding and alternating
works as expected.
As always, any comments are appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon
