[PATCH net-next 02/15] batman-adv: tt: extract allocation of new local entries

flat view
COLD33d

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The code which allocates and initializes a brand new local TT entry makes
up more than a third of batadv_tt_local_add(). It only shares the addr, vid
and iif_is_wifi parameters with the rest of the function.

Move it to batadv_tt_local_create(), which returns the fully initialized
entry. The error paths become plain returns.

The insertion into bat_priv->tt.local_hash intentionally stays in
batadv_tt_local_add(), keeping the extra reference for the hash next to the
error handling which has to drop it again.
