Thanks.

Your patch conflicts with patches waiting to be applied by Greg KH. I will 
redo your changes for the current and development version and submit them to 
the b.a.t.m.a.n. mailing list for further discussion. Is that ok for you?

Best regards,
	Sven Eckelmann

Sven,

Sorry about the conflict, thanks for redoing the changes. Where can I
find the current and development branches? I want to avoid doing this
mistake again in the future. Specially since I'm planning on doing
some janitorial work on Staging for a while if it's OK with you guys.
I see it as nice experience and practice while learning and getting
ready for more valuable contributions :)

Cheers,
Luis de Bethencourt

The whitespaces in bat_sysfs.c after the "commands" string are intentional. 
Userspace applications can simply split the string after each whitespace. Of 
course, it can be done differently but it only "costs" us a whitespace. I was 
not aware this would be an issue. Can we keep it or should we change e.g. 
batctl ?

Cheers,
Marek

The development is currently done in different branches and SCMs outside the 
kernel. Andrew Lunn prepares a maint branch for submission to GregKH and sends 
it to him for staging.

Most of the development of future features are done in
 http://downloads.open-mesh.org/svn/batman/ under trunk/batman-adv-kernelland/
This is usually not what you deal with as only the maint branch is submitted 
for inclusion into linux staging. Nevertheless all changes in svn for batman-
adv-kernelland are automatically imported into
http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=batman-adv (branch master).

The maint work is now done inside the maint branch of that git repository. It 
doesn't contain the whole linux tree and holds all files to build an external 
module (used for example in OpenWRT and Debian). When Andrew thinks that it is 
ready to be send to GregKH, he will do a subtree merge into linus (holds the 
linux tree) and then rebase the changes in a private branch. This is needed to 
have the correct directories inside the patches and that files removed/added 
for the kernel are still being deleted/available.

So doing your changes against the git maint branch is the correct way in most 
situations.

Yes, contributors are welcome.

There is also a userspace part which must also work with your changes. One 
problem was spotted by Marek. So it is maybe a good idea to send changes over 
the b.a.t.m.a.n. mailing list.

Correct, that was part of the redoing of your changes. bat_sysfs.c is only 
part of the current development version and not in your patch (you still had 
the /proc stuff).

But maybe you could explain to Marek why it is important/correct/good/... to 
have no whitespaces before \n or if the part for /proc or /sys files can be 
ignored.

I saw the bat_sysfs.c in the redoing of the changes. It is OK with me.

IMHO a whitespace before a \n is unneccesary, since it is a blank
character at the end of the line. Like adding a 0 at the left of a
number.
The obvious minor issue to try and avoid is space since having a big
number of these can bloat slightly the size of code/kernel. But the
whitespace can create other bigger issues, an example is when the
whitespace coincidentally falls one character out of the length of the
terminal, this will screw up the line break formatting in an ugly way.

I think these are the reasons why the coding style guidelines of the
Linux Kernel ask to avoid these whitespaces. Which also means removing
this helps the consistency of the kernel's code.

Honestly, I don't understand the intention of the whitespaces you are
talking about. Userspace applications have to split the string after
each whitespace because there is a \n there, my fix just suggested to
split the line before the whitespace since I see no need for it.

So am I missunderstanding and there is a need for that whitespace?
Same question asked differently: Will there be any difference in the
print out if the line is broken before the whitespace instead of
after?

If so, please show me an example :)

Sven has told you about how batman uses different repositories. You
can find some more information at:

http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/UsingBatmanGit

When working on other staging drivers i suggest you work on either the
linux-next tree, or contact the driver maintainers and ask if they
have there own development tree. Staging drivers tend to be fast
moving. They change a lot. What is in the current release kernel,
which is effectively 3 months old, can be very different to the latest
development version. I've received many patches to things we have
fixed months ago and are either waiting in linux-next for the next
kernel release, or our in or development tree. I'm sure the same
applies to other drivers in staging.

Another option for interesting work to get involved in the kernel is
to ask GregKH if there is a staging driver which is not being actively
worked on. Some drivers just get dumped there and nobody spends the
time and effort needed to get them merged. After a while they get
thrown out of the staging. You could adopt such a driver, get hold of
the hardware and do the work needed to get it out of staging and into
the main tree.

Let's take this string as an example:
"commands: enable, disable, 0, 1 \n"
The batctl code uses strchr() to jump to each whitespace location within the 
string and handle each word individually. By removing the last whitespace the 
code will not handle "1" because there is not more whitespace. See 
handle_sys_setting() in http://www.open-mesh.org/browser/trunk/batctl/sys.c

That is not tragic but the batctl code needs to be changed as well if the 
whitespace is removed.

Marek

Andrew,

Oh thanks! After learning about this about the batman development tree
I wondered how to find out where the equivalent branches for other
projects are. Checking the linux-next branch sounds great. I'm still
learning the details of the kernel development process, I knew about
this branch but now I understand it's function and purpose.

I will also contact driver maintainers before sending a patch even if
it is small. I appreciate hugely that Sven redid my changes with the
new branch, but I don't want to create more work for a maintainer in
the future. On the contrary, I want to help :)

That sounds awesome. I will contact him and see if there is any orphan
driver that is of my interest and that I can get my hands on the
hardware. I presume it is a good starting point since it involves
doing the last steps of the process and not starting something from
scratch. A good angle to understand the 'big picture' of driver
development better.

Thanks a million for the suggestions and help. :)

PD: By the way, I know top posting is a big no-no. is inline posting
ok? in cases like your email where the two paragraphs address diferent
topics I find it more logical to down-post after each one. just
checking before I continue doing so.

Ohhhhhh... I wasn't aware of that.

In this case the whitespace is needed to separate 1 from \n. Being
this the case you are correct, I agree with you that keeping those
whitespaces is a small cost compared to changing the logic of how
batctl works.

I stand corrected :P

Thanks for taking the time of writing the example Marek.


Sven,

Should I redo the patch you sent taking out the changes that are
affected by the above?

No, Marek or I or someone who is faster will do the changes needed in batctl. 
It is high on my agenta and not really complicated. Just have to make it at 
the same time the whitespace patch gets applied.

Best regards,

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batctl: Parse allowed settings for sysfs without whitespace before newline

[Sven Eckelmann]

The current settings parser assumes that a newline is at the end of each
line starting with "commands:". Luis de Bethencourt reported that this
is a bad coding style and should be avoided.

To parse the new settings lines we must also check for \n and not only
for single whitespaces. After each check it must be ensured that the old
character is placed again at the old place and the line seems to be
unmodified to the user.

For old versions with extra whitespace before a newline an extra check
must be applied to not allow commands with empty parameter like in
 batctl vis_mode ''

Ok, I just verfied and committed your patch which allowed me to submit the 
remaining "whitespace" changes from Luis as well.

Thanks,
