batman-adv: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets from BLA backbone to mesh
[ Upstream commit 2369e827046920ef0599e6a36b975ac5c0a359c2 ]
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.
