batman-adv: mcast: don't send link-local multicast to mcast routers

2022-01-02T08:31:17Z

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.

batman-adv: mcast: add MRD + routable IPv4 multicast with bridges support

2021-05-30T11:38:27Z

This adds support for routable IPv4 multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4, excluding 224.0.0.0/24) in bridged setups. This utilizes the Multicast Router Discovery (MRD, RFC4286) support in the Linux bridge. batman-adv will now query the Linux bridge for IPv4 multicast routers, which the bridge has previously learned about via MRD. This allows us to then safely send routable IPv4 multicast packets in bridged setups to multicast listeners and multicast routers only. Before we had to flood such packets to avoid potential multicast packet loss to IPv4 multicast routers, which we were not able to detect before. With the bridge MRD integration, we are now also able to perform more fine-grained detection of IPv6 multicast routers in bridged setups: Before we were "guessing" IPv6 multicast routers by looking up multicast listeners for the link-local All Routers multicast address (ff02::2), which every IPv6 multicast router is listening to. However this would also include more nodes than necessary: For instance nodes which are just a router for unicast, but not multicast would be included, too.

mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU

2021-03-26T22:14:56Z

The ifmcaddr6 has been protected by inet6_dev->lock(rwlock) so that the critical section is atomic context. In order to switch this context, changing locking is needed. The ifmcaddr6 actually already protected by RTNL So if it's converted to use RCU, its control path context can be switched to sleepable.

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
