- recognise and drop Bridge Loop Avoidance packets even if they are encapsulated in the 802.1q header multiple times. Forwarding them into the mesh creates issues on other nodes. - properly handle VLAN private objects in order to avoid race conditions upon fast VLAN deletion-addition. Such conditions create an unrecoverable inconsistency in the TT database of the nodes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJTzMYfAAoJEJgn97Bh2u9eKLIP+wWwqvRe5hFleA7Xd7vHS769 20TrhDPZrQAcaK8dg8/VpqUZ4oGAi0WHhbhAdur1Vj3Ie5DDsqqu45lK9a/o+PAe avWafxcPcK5LLoLbDKNxX98n6BN3aNFIp7rUy4CDO7Beix/PfQUYGbZ01IEueNlX tvKz1oO7r3SvWFELltSU7bndU+0NoZRon5qXSaxnlYHMXcsJEJAKRPE9eLdwXUaF 9h0oIKkPVQt8YFn0w1zZRePSPWGQSAb20exgRGwPxI23xs7ui1i+s5Od9aSt8FcR e6eNuMDsuHVeAmW+nsxF3WAyYGIGyaTb9sSkwrToXZge7BRFRfphKN1WHD1bp6A5 a0Lu3wkzCJbrS3LZkjt99jh+0XAaaoWkAt4Lu4+VUcMYtfITHHHN4kfmzoPE7Z8y Qq64KL/ry6v2lqGk2+9G5/oHXMAYAyed+TPk/HSn5O0CS+zXxXFvrvbYyQyFg99X BcuOD6dGLbfaPQh9XuCE9jJ2D5QHnkAXj2FlK5oFd7y6ASdLltratTYNKJ4T7cVR +cyBkZ6cI3Ehzq1jrR8/9qqAal+a/jdzne6J7DPnWksDWxnTylANuWecVkETkpcL mUp6Zv9SYISqQSPtrbE7xu1XW/ICoajc+6H0eEOFhKU+JEqKjxwSE2QoKvzxeC8Y OHIbq99fItGwH7Vuldkg =RdJM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'batman-adv-fix-for-davem' of git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge Antonio Quartulli says: ==================== pull request [net]: batman-adv 20140721 here you have two fixes that we have been testing for quite some time (this is why they arrived a bit late in the rc cycle). Patch 1) ensures that BLA packets get dropped and not forwarded to the mesh even if they reach batman-adv within QinQ frames. Forwarding them into the mesh means messing up with the TT database of other nodes which can generate all kind of unexpected behaviours during route computation. Patch 2) avoids a couple of race conditions triggered upon fast VLAN deletion-addition. Such race conditions are pretty dangerous because they not only create inconsistencies in the TT database of the nodes in the network, but such scenario is also unrecoverable (unless nodes are rebooted). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
