commit938f2e0b57upstream. The addition of routable multicast TX handling introduced a bug/regression for packets with a link-local multicast destination: These packets would be sent to all batman-adv nodes with a multicast router and to all batman-adv nodes with an old version without multicast router detection. This even disregards the batman-adv multicast fanout setting, which can potentially lead to an unwanted, high number of unicast transmissions or even congestion. Fixing this by avoiding to send link-local multicast packets to nodes in the multicast router list.

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.
