[olsr-dev] 0.4.9 CVS hangs while deleting route

[Thomas Lopatic]

Hello there,

[direct routes with a hop count of 2]

Yup - it was a bug in some new code in LQ route addition that I
introduced last Wednesday. When there's a route to B via A, then the LQ
code now explicitly makes sure that there is a route to A. This is to
cope with the degenerate case in which (1) A is not the neighbour's main
address, (2) we do not have an MID entry for A, so there won't be a
route added to A, (3) but the best link to our neighbour is to its
interface A. The problem was that instead of using a hop count of 1, I
used B's hop count, which is wrong.

Thanks to everybody for the analysis and debugging! Finding and fixing
the bug with this information took about 2 minutes.

The CVS repository contains updated code.
