2018-09-07batman-adv: fix backbone_gw refcount on queue_work() failureMarek Lindner1-2/+8
The backbone_gw refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails. Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount if necessary.

2018-02-25batman-adv: Fix netlink dumping of BLA backbonesSven Eckelmann1-4/+7
The function batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket must be able to handle non-complete dumps of a single bucket. It tries to do that by saving the latest dumped index in *idx_skip to inform the caller about the current state. But the caller only assumes that buckets were not completely dumped when the return code is non-zero. This function must therefore also return a non-zero index when the dumping of an entry failed. Otherwise the caller will just skip all remaining buckets. And the function must also reset *idx_skip back to zero when it finished a bucket. Otherwise it will skip the same number of entries in the next bucket as the previous one had.

2017-03-22batman-adv: handle race condition for claims between gatewaysAndreas Pape1-4/+16
Consider the following situation which has been found in a test setup: Gateway B has claimed client C and gateway A has the same backbone network as B. C sends a broad- or multicast to B and directly after this packet decides to send another packet to A due to a better TQ value. B will forward the broad-/multicast into the backbone as it is the responsible gw and after that A will claim C as it has been chosen by C as the best gateway. If it now happens that A claims C before it has received the broad-/multicast forwarded by B (due to backbone topology or due to some delay in B when forwarding the packet) we get a critical situation: in the current code A will immediately unclaim C when receiving the multicast due to the roaming client scenario although the position of C has not changed in the mesh. If this happens the multi-/broadcast forwarded by B will be sent back into the mesh by A and we have looping packets until one of the gateways claims C again. In order to prevent this, unclaiming of a client due to the roaming client scenario is only done after a certain time is expired after the last claim of the client. 100 ms are used here, which should be slow enough for big backbones and slow gateways but fast enough not to break the roaming client use case.

2017-01-18net: Remove usage of net_device last_rx memberTobias Klauser1-1/+0
The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in commit 9f242738376d ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()"). However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and some driver just update it without actually using it. Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member added in commit 4dc89133f49b ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx") which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However, this commend was removed in commit f8ff080dacec ("bonding: remove useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later on still did update last_rx. Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and smc91c92_cs) which actually read and write it to use their own private copy in netdev_priv. Compile-tested with allyesconfig and allmodconfig on x86 and arm.

2016-05-10batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loopsSimon Wunderlich1-0/+139
There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that: A...(mesh1)...B | | (LAN1) (LAN2) | | C...(mesh2)...D Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily, these kind of loops can be detected. This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others handle that problem.

2016-01-16batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_bla_claimSven Eckelmann1-7/+3
The batadv_claim_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free of the batadv_bla_claim object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is enabled anymore. This makes sure that no context is still trying to access the object which should be removed. But batadv_bla_claim also contains a reference to backbone_gw which must be removed. The reference drop of backbone_gw was done in the call_rcu function batadv_claim_free_rcu but should actually be done in the batadv_claim_release function to avoid nested call_rcus. This is important because rcu_barrier (e.g. batadv_softif_free or batadv_exit) will not detect the inner call_rcu as relevant for its execution. Otherwise this barrier will most likely be inserted in the queue before the callback of the first call_rcu was executed. The caller of rcu_barrier will therefore continue to run before the inner call_rcu callback finished.

2015-12-16batman-adv: lock crc access in bridge loop avoidanceSimon Wunderlich1-5/+30
We have found some networks in which nodes were constantly requesting other nodes BLA claim tables to synchronize, just to ask for that again once completed. The reason was that the crc checksum of the asked nodes were out of sync due to missing locking and multiple writes to the same crc checksum when adding/removing entries. Therefore the asked nodes constantly reported the wrong crc, which caused repeating requests. To avoid multiple functions changing a backbone gateways crc entry at the same time, lock it using a spinlock.

2015-08-25batman-adv: Replace C99 int types with kernel typeSven Eckelmann1-37/+35
(s|u)(8|16|32|64) are the preferred types in the kernel. The use of the standard C99 types u?int(8|16|32|64)_t are objected by some people and even checkpatch now warns about using them.
