*	batman-adv: throughput meter implementation	Antonio Quartulli	2016-07-04	1	-0/+6
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test can be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

*	batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-adv	Matthias Schiffer	2016-07-04	1	-0/+26
	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.
