[PATCH net-next 04/15] batman-adv: tt: extract refresh of existing local entries

flat view
COLD37d

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
Date: 2026-09-07 08:18:36
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 handling of a client which is already part of the local translation
table is independent from the rest of batadv_tt_local_add(): it only
refreshes last_seen and evaluates the PENDING and ROAM flags of the entry
which was just looked up.

Move it to batadv_tt_local_add_existing(). It reports via its return value
whether the client has to be announced to the mesh again and whether the
client roamed back to its original location.
