Re: [RFC PATCH net-next v0.1 1/1] net: add GeoNetworking protocol

Can this:
+#define GN_MAX_HEADER_SZ 88
Be defined in terms of:
+#define GN_GUC_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_guc_header)
+#define GN_GXC_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_gxc_header)
+#define GN_SHB_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_shb_header)
+#define GN_TSB_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_tsb_header)
+#define GN_BEACON_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_beacon_header)
+#define GN_LS_REQUEST_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_ls_request_header)
+#define GN_LS_REPLY_HLEN sizeof(struct gn_ls_reply_header)
+#define BTP_HLEN sizeof(struct btp_header)
#define GN_MAX_HEADER_SZ (GN_GUC_HLEN + GN_GXC_HLEN + GN_SHB_HLEN + GN_TSB_HLEN + ...)

Doing it like this makes it also documentation, the assumption is, the
biggest header contains these sub headers.
+/**
+ *	struct gn_iface - GeoNetworking interface
+ *	@dev - Network device associated with this interface
+ *	@address - Our address
+ *	@local_sn - Current sequence number
+ */
+struct gn_iface {
+	struct net_device	*dev;
+	gn_address_t	address;
+	struct gn_position pos;
+	atomic_t local_sn;
+	struct hlist_node hnode;
+	struct rcu_head rcu;
+};
It does not look like all members have the same indentation here. I
would suggest they are all indented to the same level, or none are
indented. This is a general comment for the code as a whole.
+enum ITS_TYPE {
+	UNKNOWN,
It is typical to use

	UNKNOWN = 0,
+	PEDESTRIAN,
+	CYCLIST,
and then the rest without explicit values. I don't know what the C
standard says, but maybe without the = 0, a language lawyer might
argue it is allowed to start at 42 and count upwards from there?
+	MOPED,
+	MOTORCYCLE,
Are these from the standard?  Maybe reference the clause in the
standard? The point being, we reviewers want to know if random
developer can add HOT_AIR_BALLOON, and HORSE_AND_TRAP at the end, or
if additions must first be accepted at the standards level and
assigned numbers.
