Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 0/11] batman-adv: Support for complex compat patches

Hi,
some patches (like patch 3+4) require special code modifications that cannot
be handled (reasonable) with the compat headers. One of these patches (3) is
already in linux-next and thus should also be in batman-adv.git.
I am proposing in this patchset two different solutions. The first one is the
easiest and most likely the best for the upcoming release. It uses a simple
shell script to patch the problematic lines in a copy of the source code. The
second solution uses parts of the first solution but replaces the simple shell
script with unified and semantic patch files. Patch 5-11 should therefore be
used as an example how coccinelle/spatch can be used to clean up some of the
"interesting" hacks in the compat headers.
Changes in v2:
- remove second replacement.sh line which basically does nothing
(thanks Linus)
- added patch 4 to also mark batadv_netlink_ops as const
- introduce patch 5-11 to show usage of coccinelle
(I personally recommend patch 9 to get familiar with the idea)
Kind regards,
Sven
