Hi,

I would like to propose following patches for net-next-2.6/2.6.40. They
include minor cleanups of comments, a big rename patch s/hna/tt/, but
also a remove some duplicated code. The spinlock which protected the
list of possible interfaces for batman-adv was completely replaced by
rtnl_lock because we want to be in sync with the rest of the network
stack and the extra spinlock made everything more complex without giving
any additional feature (and rtnl_lock was already used everywhere).
Related to this patch is also a fix which should prevent a deadlock
between the sysfs code and the event listener. Also the reference
counting in find_router was fixed when an error was detected after the
refcounter was already increased. The only feature is the support for
multiple vlans in the bridge loop detection code.

I will submit a patch to remove the atomic_dec_not_zero from main.h
after Linus accepted the patch you already saw.

thanks,
	Sven
