Hi,

The current endpoint for batadv_icmp* is implemented in the kernel module and 
can be accessed via debugfs. But the debugfs cannot be accessed from non-
default netns or when debugfs is disabled. Thus it has be possible to use it 
via the netlink infrastructure to make it compatible with future
setups.

The use of the socket file is completely removed and instead raw sockets with 
BPF filters are used to send/receive batadv_icmp_packet* directly. All 
information about interfaces and available originators are received via
rtnetlink and the batman-adv netlink.

The originators debugfs file is used when the batman-adv netlink commands are 
not available. The routing of batadv_icmp_packets is still done inside the 
kernel module.

The patchset is based on the netlink and rtnl patchset for batctl.

Kind regards,
	Sven

The list-batman implementation of linked lists has an interface which tries
to resample the linux double linked list implementation but in reality is
incompatible. This resulted in code which moves most of the pointer
arithmetic back to the actual code. This is rather unfortunate because this
abstraction should reduce the pointer arithmetic and not increase it.

Also the incompatibilities between the list implementation used in
batman-adv and the one used by batctl made coding features in both
components error prone because each component required a slightly different
implementation for the same list manipulation.

gettimeofday is not monotonic. It would give wrong results in some
situation like leap seconds, when switching between daylight saving time
and non-DST, NTP changes the time or when the administrator of the system
changes it manually. The function is also obsolete since POSIX.1-2008.

clock_gettime is recommended to get a monotonic timesource and as general
replacement of gettimeofday.

Linux provides different ways to get instant random bytes. These are not
all supported on all systems and thus a fallback may have to be used.
Abstract all this in a single function which can be used from different
parts of the code.

The current implementations are

 * get random data from urandom pool via SYS_getrandom syscall
 * get random data from reading /dev/urandom
 * fallback to per-program prng initialized via the current time (seconds +
   nanoseconds)

All are tried in this order in hope to get a high quality random number
source before falling back to some really low quality one.

The current endpoint for batadv_icmp* is implemented in the kernel module
and can be accessed via debugfs. But the debugfs cannot be accessed from
non-default netns or when debugfs is disabled. Thus it has be possible to
use it via the netlink infrastructure to make it compatible with future
setups.

The use of the socket file is completely removed and instead raw sockets
with BPF filters are used to send/receive batadv_icmp_packet* directly. All
information about interfaces and available originators are received via
rtnetlink and the batman-adv netlink.

The originators debugfs file is used when the batman-adv netlink commands
are not available. The routing of batadv_icmp_packets is still done inside
the kernel module.
