[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 0/2] Fixes reported by Al Viro

[Antonio Quartulli]

The following two patches fix the two issues found by Al Viro and reported in
his email.

Patch 1) simply convert the tt_crc field in the bat_priv structure from atomic_t
to uint16_t. Actually there is no reason to declare it as atomic_t.

Patch 2) fixes a little bug we have when sending a tt_request message: now we
don't convert the tt_crc that we are sending within the request to network
order. OTOH we convert this field from NO to HO on the receiver side.

Therefore, nodes on the path of the request, which have HO different from NO,
will fail to reply to the request and will forward it towards the final
destination.


Cheers,
	Antonio

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: convert bat_priv->tt_crc from atomic_t to uint16_t

[Antonio Quartulli]

In the code we neever need to atomically check and set the bat_priv->tt_crc
field value. It is simply set and read once in different pieces of the code.
Therefore this field can be safely be converted from atomic_t to uint16_t.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: convert the tt_crc to network order

[Antonio Quartulli]

Before sending out a TT_Request packet we must convert the tt_crc field value
to network order (since it is 16bits long).

I think David'd want to see this fix in the next pull request or so...should we
commit these patches to next directly?

Probably. The second patch could even go to stable, right ?
