Staging: batman-adv: register the batman-adv packet type per interface
Batman-adv globally registered the batman-adv packet type and installed
a hook to batman_skb_recv(). Each interface receiving a packet with that
type would end up in this function which then had to loop through all
batman-adv internal interface structures to find the its meta data. The
more interfaces a system had the longer the loops might take. Each and
every packet goes through this function making it a performance critical
loop.
This patch installs the hook for each activated interface. The called
batman_skb_recv() can distinguish these calls, therefore avoiding the
loop through the interface structures.
