Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] batman-adv: Ignore own maximum aggregation size during RX

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

An OGMv1 and OGMv2 packet receive processing were not only limited by the
number of bytes in the received packet but also by the nodes maximum
aggregation packet size limit. But this limit is relevant for TX and not
for RX. It must not be enforced by batadv_(i)v_ogm_aggr_packet to avoid
loss of information in case of a different limit for sender and receiver.

This has a minor side effect for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV because the
batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet is also used for the preprocessing for the TX.
But since the aggregation code itself will not allow more than
BATADV_MAX_AGGREGATION_BYTES bytes, this check was never triggering (in
this context) prior of removing it.
