Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix broadcast packet CRC calculation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commit 7f112af40fecf5399b61e69ffc6b55a9d82789f7 upstream.

So far the crc16 checksum for a batman-adv broadcast data packet, received
on a batman-adv hard interface, was calculated over zero bytes of its
content leading to many incoming broadcast data packets wrongly being
dropped (60-80% packet loss).

This patch fixes this issue by calculating the crc16 over the actual,
complete broadcast payload.

The issue is a regression introduced by
("batman-adv: add broadcast duplicate check").
