    batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration · e2d0d35b
    Sven Eckelmann authored
    The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead
    of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to
    a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the
    mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway
    server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client.
    The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the
    gw_mode server was selected.
    
    The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
    configuration of this feature using the attributes:
    
    * u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server)
    * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps)
    * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps)
    * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS
