Description
On an ARMv7l system, I'm seeing the following error while using batman-adv 2015.2:

This error repeats every five seconds, but does not seem to impact stability of the system as a whole. The running system is:
Linux gw 3.10.92-64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 23 15:13:42 BRST 2015 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
(i.e. the default kernel for an XU3 system), and uses the module as a DKMS built with the standard debian DKMS-infrastructure.

Looks like a bug which was fixed a while ago (but for some reason not added to the 2015.2 release): https://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/patch/41a559a1d48b6fbb17690b7bdcc155668a8e751d
Please test this patch

independently of that patch in trunk (which I didn't see), I did the same adaptation yesterday, and that fixes the problem. Would you kindly integrate the patch into the 2015.2 release-tar? Thanks!

No. 2015.2 is tagged, released as tarball, cryptographically signed, mirrored to other servers (not in our control) since a while and should never be modified again. This could only be released as a maintenance release like 2015.2.1 or as the next full release 2016.0. This is something which Marek + Simon have to decide. I doubt that it will be done because this is just a minor problem. It is only a warning from a debug helper of the kernel and it is not reporting an actual problem in the code. The mistake is only inside an annotation which is checked by the lockdep helper for debugging reasons.
Other question: why is you distribution kernel compiled with CONFIG_LOCKDEP? This is meant only for debug kernels (this is also the reason why this feature depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL && CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT)

And btw. this patch is not in trunk (there is no trunk branch). It is currently in the next branch - which is the branch that will be used to prepare the 2016.0 release and is currently submitted by Antonio to the Linux kernel networking maintainer for 4.5. So they already decided that it is not interesting enough for the maint branch (which contains the patches for a potential v2015.2.1 and Linux 4.4).

Makes sense, absolutely, and I actually meant putting up a maintenance release as a "fix", as:
Other question: why is you distribution kernel compiled with CONFIG_LOCKDEP? This is meant only for debug kernels (this is also the reason why this feature depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL && CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT)
for the corresponding hardware, the kernel is the default kernel you'll find on new installation images of the XU3 platform, see http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140448267127 (kernel from http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:xu3_building_kernel) - and yes, it does have CONFIG_LOCKDEP turned on by default, seemingly, so that I won't be the only one being bitten and/or confused by this.
Functionality-wise: as of the present state, it spams the logs full of backtraces, which is annoying, but doesn't really break things except using up storage space for the sys-logs.
