Subject: [PATCH 1/4] batman-adv: Prevent mutliple ARP replies sent by
gateways in bla setups with dat enabled

This patch shall make sure that only the backbone gw which has claimed the
remote
destination for the ARP request answers the ARP request directly if the
MAC address
is known due to the local DAT table. This prevents multiple ARP replies in
a common
backbone if more than one gateway already knows the remote mac searched
for in the
ARP request.

It looks like your client in corrupting the patch. The first link should 
explain how to configure some clients. Maybe you can follow the steps to 
configure your client.

Usually the easiest way is to use git-send-email. But this would be a 
different email client.

And let me guess, you have to use your phoenixcontact.com mail account to 
contribute to projects... If nothing else works then maybe you can send it 
just as attachments. It is a little bit ugly to comment on attachments but 
better than no patches at all. (I hope it is ok for the maintainers)

No problem. I've send more nonsense to the list than anyone else :)

No, the patches are not applied anywhere automatically. Marek will go through 
the patches and apply them manually after they were discussed on the 
mailinglist.

Some projects use a tool called patchwork that gathers patches but even then 
it wouldn't be applied in a git repo automatically.

Kind regards,
	Sven

This patch looks good in general. I can not apply it though, please check the 
links that Sven posted how to set up your mail client to send patches. Also, 
the commit message seems to have too long lines. Usually your git client 
should limit those to ~72 characters per line (I'm not sure about the actual 
limit)

You should put a short description here, like

batadv_check_local_claim - check if the address has been claimed by the local 
backbone

> + * @addr: mac address of which the claim status is checked

Should put Return: and then describe the return values. Please check the other 
functions for reference.

kerneldoc is parsed automatically and must therefore be in the right format.

You can save an intendation by doing a return here immediately

I'd prefer a goto here. If we have other stuff to clean up when we change this 
function later, we may forget that this is not done because we used return 
here.

braces not needed

Maybe put something in the debug code where this was called from? This looks 
like a very generic claim message.

I wonder if we should rename the function somehow, since actively claiming 
goes beyond "just checking". Maybe handle_local_claim.?

Also, primary_if can go on the line above I guess.

Cheers,
     Simon

See SubmittingPatches:

    - The body of the explanation, line wrapped at 75 columns, which will
      be copied to the permanent changelog to describe this patch.

This should also have been displayed when you've checked the patch with
Linux's

     ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict 000*.patch

Kind regards,
	Sven

Hi Simon

was this the only patch which cannot be applied? What about the others I
sent? I am still working on the e-mail client issue ....

Kind regards,
        Andreas
