[ Upstream commit2369e82704] Scenario: * Multicast frame send from BLA backbone gateways (multiple nodes with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled) sharing the same LAN to nodes in the mesh Issue: * Nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0 from the mesh, once from each foreign BLA backbone gateway which shares the same LAN with another For multicast frames via batman-adv broadcast packets coming from the same BLA backbone but from different backbone gateways duplicates are currently detected via a CRC history of previously received packets. However this CRC so far was not performed for multicast frames received via batman-adv unicast packets. Fixing this by appyling the same check for such packets, too. Room for improvements in the future: Ideally we would introduce the possibility to not only claim a client, but a complete originator, too. This would allow us to only send a multicast-in-unicast packet from a BLA backbone gateway claiming the node and by that avoid potential redundant transmissions in the first place.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
