3e15b06eb7 batman-adv: Add fragmentation mesh genl configuration
The mesh interface can fragment unicast packets when the packet size
exceeds the outgoing slave/hard-interface MTU.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_FRAGMENTATION_ENABLED
attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature.

49e7e37cd9 batman-adv: Prepare framework for vlan genl config
The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs.
This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake".
Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested.

Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the VLANs on top of
the mesh/soft-interface have configuration settings. The genl interface
reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the vlan specific commands
BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN.

The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace
listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN command
message type that settings might have been changed and what the current
values are.

fb69be6979 batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detection
The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the
kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to
interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that
either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either
receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.

Commit 670dc2833d ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a
mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide
whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.

The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid
changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation
sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

56989f6d85 genetlink: mark families as __ro_after_init
Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.

In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.

This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

a07ea4d994 genetlink: no longer support using static family IDs
Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.

Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)

Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability.

At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and
its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no
need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations
much much longer.

receiver abort the ongoing test.

09748a22f4 batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-adv
debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel
where files are dynamically added and removed (see
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some
details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware.

Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be
moved to netlink. This will fix the long standing problem of large buffers
for debug tables and hard to parse text files.
