2013-05-29batman-adv: don't initialise batman_iv private members in hard-interface.cAntonio Quartulli1-7/+1
hard-interface.c has to do not contain any routing algorithm specific code. Allocate the hard-interface with kzalloc() and remove any useless and algorithm specific member initialisation Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2013-05-29batman-adv: send each broadcast only once on non-wireless interfacesMatthias Schiffer1-0/+4
While it makes sense to send each broadcast thrice on 802.11 (WLAN) interfaces as broadcasts are often unreliable on these, there is no reason to do so on other interface types. The increased the overhead can be harmful on low-bandwidth links like VPN connections over slow internet lines, therefore it is better to reduce the number of broadcast packets sent on non-wireless links to one.

2013-05-29batman-adv: split batadv_is_wifi_iface() into two functionsMatthias Schiffer1-32/+52
Previously batadv_is_wifi_iface() did two things at once: looking up a net_device from an interface index, and determining if it is a wifi device. The second part is useful itself when the caller already has a net_device reference.

2013-03-27batman-adv: free an hard-interface before adding itAntonio Quartulli1-6/+33
When adding a new hard interface (e.g. wlan0) to a soft interface (e.g. bat0) and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software bridge) batman-adv has to free it first and then continue with the adding mechanism. In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master" does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by the users.

2013-03-27batman-adv: Allow to modify slaves of soft-interfaces through rntl_linkSven Eckelmann1-2/+10
The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove slaves of an soft-iface is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to modify slaves of an interface. An additional configuration interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device adding/removing with tools like "ip": $ ip link set dev eth0 master bat0 $ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Acked-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2013-03-27batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removedSven Eckelmann1-3/+5
batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and removed when no slave device exists anymore. This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

2012-08-23batman-adv: Split batadv_priv in sub-structures for featuresSven Eckelmann1-2/+3
The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the member name. The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in the bat_priv main struct.

2012-08-23batman-adv: check batadv_orig_hash_add_if() return codeSimon Wunderlich1-1/+7
If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not. If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces, this would lead to access to not allocated memory later. We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for a few too many bytes allocated).

2012-07-01batman-adv: Remove bat_ prefix from bat_{debugfs, sysfs}.{c, h}Sven Eckelmann1-1/+1
The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm. The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets renamed.

2012-04-11batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich1-7/+11
This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.
