The batadv generic netlink family can be used to retrieve the current state and set various configuration settings. But there are also settings which must be set before the actual interface is created. The rtnetlink already uses IFLA_INFO_DATA to allow net_device families to transfer such configurations. The minimal required functionality for this is now available for the batadv rtnl_link_ops. Also a new IFLA class of attributes will be attached to it because rtnetlink only allows 51 different attributes but batadv_nl_attrs already contains 62 attributes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
