nodewatcher: only add direct batman originators
This is a normal scenario: -- %< -- originator last-seen (quality) nexthop [interface]: .. possible nexthops .. A 0.270s (134) A [ w2mesh]: C ( 79) A (134) B 0.170s (245) B [ w2mesh]: B (245) C 1.850s (152) C [ w2mesh]: A ( 83) C (152) -- >% -- Nodewatcher will send only the originator, last-seen, quality, nexthop and the interface. Nothing about the possible nexthops. Because Netmon can't show every Originator (to bad performance), we need some filtering, to only see direct neighbors. At the moment Netmon stores only originator == nexthop entries. And there is no other way to filter, because Netmon has only this information. But this may fail. The problem occurs, if A has a better connection (e.g. via eth0) with leads to an quality of 255: -- %< -- A 0.270s (255) A [ eth0]: C ( 79) A (255) B 0.170s (245) B [ w2mesh]: B (245) C 1.850s (204) A [ eth0]: A (204) C (152) -- >% -- In this example, Netmon wouldn't show the connection to C. This patch doesn't use the originator == nexthop filter. Instead a filter like "originator is anywhere in the possible nexthops" is used. With this, we can disable the filtering in Netmon and show at least that there is directly connection. With the "batctl o" command it is not possible to show the correct interface for this direct connection. Signed-off-by:Tim Niemeyer <tim.niemeyer@mastersword.de> Reviewed-by:
