Subject: batman-adv: use vid when computing local and global TT CRC
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ffa9e8d86d665f0f29343e45ecc09e2772ac646;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

batman-adv: use vid when computing local and global TT CRC

now that each TT entry is characterised by a VLAN ID, the
latter has to be taken into consideration when computing the
local/global table CRC as it would be theoretically possible
to have the same client in two different VLANs

+ * This function computes the checksum for the global table corresponding to a

+ * each client connected to the originator the CRC32C of the MAC address and the
+ * VID is computed and then all the CRC32Cs of the various clients are xor'ed
+ * together.
+ *
+ * The idea behind is that CRC32C should be used as much as possible in order to
+ * produce a unique hash of the table, but since the order which is used to feed
+ * the CRC32C function affects the result and since every node in the network
+ * probably sorts the clients differently, the hash function cannot be directly
+ * computed over the entire table. Hence the CRC32C is used only on
+ * the single client entry, while all the results are then xor'ed together
+ * because the XOR operation can combine them all while trying to reduce the
+ * noise as much as possible.
+ *
+ * Returns the checksum of the global table of a given originator.
