this made me curious , and i modified your script a bit - turns out
after the 127. IF you add to batman-adv you get an Error -
all 510 gretap links was succesfully build ...
# ifconfig |grep gre| wc -l
515
# batctl if|sort|wc -l
127
the error is mainly
*Error - can't write to file
'/sys/class/net/gre128/batman_adv/mesh_iface': Cannot allocate memory
*removing one previous IF from batman, and adding the next work fine,
but than going over 127 is not possible.
like this
# batctl if del gre127
# batctl if add gre128
and then # batctl if add gre129 (or whatever other if) fails again
script and dmesg are like this , maybe you can explain what happened,
in case its important, this is still batman-adv-v14
thx
jens
# add one if per 3 seconds and give dmesg output
dmesg -w &
