Staging: batman-adv: move /proc interface handling to /sys
Instead of having a single /proc file "interfaces" in which you have to echo the wanted interface batman-adv will create a subfolder in each suitable /sys/class/net folder. This subfolder contains files for the interface specific settings. For example, mesh_iface to add/remove an interface from a virtual mesh network (at the moment only bat0 is supported). Example: echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface to deactivate: echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface Interfaces which are not compatible with batman-adv won't contain the batman-adv folder, therefore can't be activated. Not supported are: loopback, non-ethernet, non-ARP and virtual mesh network interfaces Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
