From da319f060b853a2cf4df3bc6119083813aaa1976 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2019 12:25:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix DAT candidate selection on little endian systems commit 4cc4a1708903f404d2ca0dfde30e71e052c6cbc9 upstream. The distributed arp table is using a DHT to store and retrieve MAC address information for an IP address. This is done using unicast messages to selected peers. The potential peers are looked up using the IP address and the VID. While the IP address is always stored in big endian byte order, this is not the case of the VID. It can (depending on the host system) either be big endian or little endian. The host must therefore always convert it to big endian to ensure that all devices calculate the same peers for the same lookup data.
