batman-adv: Migrate to linux/container_of.h

2022-03-02T08:00:13Z

The commit d2a8ebbf8192 ("kernel.h: split out container_of() and typeof_member() macros") introduced a new header for the container_of related macros from (previously) linux/kernel.h. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Check ptr for NULL before reducing its refcnt

2021-08-08T18:21:40Z

The commit b37a46683739 ("netdevice: add the case if dev is NULL") changed the way how the NULL check for net_devices have to be handled when trying to reduce its reference counter. Before this commit, it was the responsibility of the caller to check whether the object is NULL or not. But it was changed to behave more like kfree. Now the callee has to handle the NULL-case. The batman-adv code was scanned via cocinelle for similar places. These were changed to use the paradigm @@ identifier E, T, R, C; identifier put; @@ void put(struct T *E) { + if (!E) + return; kref_put(&E->C, R); } Functions which were used in other sources files were moved to the header to allow the compiler to inline the NULL check and the kref_put call.

net: Remove redundant if statements

2021-08-05T12:27:50Z

The 'if (dev)' statement already move into dev_{put , hold}, so remove redundant if statements. Signed-off-by: Yajun Deng Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

batman-adv: Fix names for kernel-doc blocks

2021-02-06T08:22:45Z

kernel-doc can only correctly identify the documented function or struct when the name in the first kernel-doc line references it. But some of the kernel-doc blocks referenced a different function/struct then it actually documented. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Avoid sizeof on flexible structure

2021-02-06T08:22:44Z

The batadv_dhcp_packet is used to read in parts of the DHCP packet and extract relevant information for the distributed arp table. But the structure contained the flexible member "options" which is no where used in the code. A sizeof on this kind of type would return the size of everything except the flexible member. But sparse will detect this kind of sizeof and warn with warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure This can be avoided by dropping the unused flexible member.

batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info

2021-02-06T08:22:10Z

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Acked-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Drop deprecated debugfs support

2020-12-04T07:40:52Z

The debugfs support in batman-adv was marked as deprecated by the commit 00caf6a2b318 ("batman-adv: Mark debugfs functionality as deprecated") and scheduled for removal in 2021. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-02-17T21:43:42Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
