  The old HNA mechanism has been totally rewritten from scratch.
The new mechanism consists in announcing local translation-table changes
only, reducing the protocol overhead.

For details, please visit:
http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Client-announcement

Moreover:
- COMPAT_VERSION has been increased to 14
- batman-adv now depends on module "crc16" for tt crc computation

Hello Antonio,

thanks for the patches. I hope it's not inappropriate to reply to the
first patch (I could not find a 0/3 mail in my mailbox). I've tested
your patchset from commit 515c6ae18d90c7c403be0260048f72f42c2959b0
from your repo (date: Apr 27 14:28:07) in my KVM Emulation setup [1]. 
I've used a cross-like setup [2] and moved node 1 to other nodes
(by killing/restarting wirefilters).
The OGM intervals were set very long (60000). 

My findings were:

 * code compiled fine on kernels 2.6.21 - 2.6.39
 * roaming works fine and promptly when going with node 1 from 5 to 6
 * roaming back and forth is also fine (5 -> 6 -> 5)
 * roaming 2 steps in one period fails (5 -> 6 -> 7), but
   connectivity is back after one OGM period
 * MAC address conflicts lead to very short roaming advertisement
   floods (10 packets per host), and then the fighting hosts
   remain silent for quite some time (> 30 seconds) - this is fine
 * clean sys/debug interface tables, nice
 * no "surprises" like panics or other weird things happened :)

Regarding the Multi-Step roaming, as we discussed this might be
solved by forwarding the advertisements to the already known new
host. However, this is not critical and can be worked on in a later 
patch, as the current patchset already improves the situation and 
does not make it worse in any way. Instead of calling it "fast 
roaming", we can then call it "rapid roaming". :D

Note that I only did functional tests. No code was harmed
during the tests.

You may add my Acked-by signature if you want.

Nice job, thanks
	Simon

Nack

There are two many small things that need to be changed. I didn't to a
complete review, but at least the primary_if dereference is unacceptable.

From IRC:

<ecsv_> could you do me the favour and go through my cleanup patches and also fix your code... it is too much to send every problem 
to the list
<ecsv_> and the kfree_rcu patches will be merged soon in linux mainline... so please prepare your patches for that
<ecsv_> and why is there still an align in batman_packet - this doesn't make any sense
<ecsv_> and we already have functionality to do the before-after check of the ttvn
<ecsv_> and you try to dereference primary_if (without using  primary_if_get_selected) directly... this is not allowed

Kind regards,
	Sven

I'm also too broken right now... "too many small problems", 'I haven't done a 
complete reviews"

thanks,
