Subject: Stable fixes for batman-adv

Hi,

it seems that patches aren't forwarded anymore (since August?) from batman-adv
to the netdev mailing list. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I would hereby try to send some patches directly to the netdev mailing list
instead of waiting any longer for the patches to be forwarded. There are more
non-feature patches [1] waiting in the batman-adv repo (everything after
"batman-adv: fix alignment" from 2014-05-15) but these don't seem to
be related to crashes.

At least the first patch caused crashes in real world scenarios [2] and could
also be used to crash a mesh node on-demand. The last patch has its bug report
in the linux bug tracker [3]. The second patch is a wrong size calculation but
no problem was yet observed in the wild.

All patches fix problems which were introduced in Linux 3.13.

Kind regards,
	Sven
