batman-adv: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets from BLA backbone to mesh
[ Upstream commit 2369e827 ] 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.
