Hello David,
this is a pull request intended for net/linux-4.1.
I know it is rather late in the release cycle, but the fixes are
pretty small and they were worth being sent now.
Patch 1/2 fixes an overflow of a u32 variable that may happen while
computing the metric to select the best batman-GW in the network.
** It would be great if this patch could be queued for inclusion in
any stable release >= 3.2
Patch 2/2 prevents the Distributed ARP Table from forging unwanted
ARP replies on behalf of another host that may fool an Ethernet switch
sitting behind batman-adv.
** It would be great if this patch could be queued for inclusion in
any stable release >= 3.8
Please pull or let me know if something is wrong
Thanks a lot,
Antonio
