2015-01-07batman-adv: clear control block of received socket buffersMartin Hundebøll1-0/+3
Since other network components (and some drivers) uses the control block provided in skb's, the network coding feature might wrongly assume that an SKB has been decoded, and thus not try to code it with another packet again. This happens for instance when batman-adv is running on a bridge device. Fix this by clearing the control block for every received SKB.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flagLinus Lüssing1-0/+2
With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too. Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise: MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers: ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------- {Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener} --------------- \ ^ ------- | br0 | < ??? ------- \ _-~---~_ _-~/ ~-_ ~ batman-adv \-----{Sender} \~_ cloud ~/ -~~__-__-~_/ I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier} -> br0 cannot detect the {Listener} => Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers. ----------------------------------------------------------- Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers, because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners. Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast supportLinus Lüssing1-0/+6
With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes IPv6 multicast packet, too. The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6 link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2 and section 3). Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to break compatibility later. Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will always receive these ranges.

2013-10-19batman-adv: lock around TT operations to avoid sending inconsistent dataAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
A TT response may be prepared and sent while the local or global translation table is getting updated. The worst case is when one of the tables is accessed after its content has been recently updated but the metadata (TTVN/CRC) has not yet. In this case the reader will get a table content which does not match the TTVN/CRC. This will lead to an inconsistent state and so to a TT recovery. To avoid entering this situation, put a lock around those TT operations recomputing the metadata and around the TT Response creation (the latter is the only reader that accesses the metadata together with the table).

2013-10-19batman-adv: add per VLAN interface attribute frameworkAntonio Quartulli1-3/+2
Since batman-adv is now fully VLAN-aware, a proper framework able to handle per-vlan-interface attributes is needed. Those attributes will affect the associated VLAN interface only, rather than the real soft_iface (which would result in every vlan interface having the same attribute configuration). To make the code simpler and easier to extend, attributes associated to the standalone soft_iface are now treated like belonging to yet another vlan having a special vid. This vid is different from the others because it is made up by all zeros and the VLAN_HAS_TAG bit is not set.

2013-10-12batman-adv: create common header for ICMP packetsAntonio Quartulli1-2/+2
the icmp and the icmp_rr packets share the same initial fields since they use the same code to be processed and forwarded. Extract the common fields and put them into a separate struct so that future ICMP packets can be easily added without bloating the packet definition. However, keep the seqno field outside of the newly created common header because future ICMP types may require a bigger sequence number space.

2013-10-09batman-adv: tvlv - basic infrastructureMarek Lindner1-0/+575
The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added right from the start to allow differentiating between feature variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue). This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure: * register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM (on primary interfaces only) * register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer * unicast tvlv send / receive API calls Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Spyros Gasteratos <morfeas3000@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
2013-10-02batman-adv: set up network coding packet handlers during module initMatthias Schiffer1-2/+3
batman-adv saves its table of packet handlers as a global state, so handlers must be set up only once (and setting them up a second time will fail). The recently-added network coding support tries to set up its handler each time a new softif is registered, which obviously fails when more that one softif is used (and in consequence, the softif creation fails). Fix this by splitting up batadv_nc_init into batadv_nc_init (which is called only once) and batadv_nc_mesh_init (which is called for each softif); in addition batadv_nc_free is renamed to batadv_nc_mesh_free to keep naming consistent.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll1-0/+6
Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-4/+2
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - implement local storageAntonio Quartulli1-0/+7
Since batman-adv cannot inter-operate with the host ARP table, this patch introduces a batman-adv private storage for ARP entries exchanged within DAT. This storage will represent the node local cache in the DAT protocol. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-11-07batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet typeAntonio Quartulli1-0/+2
The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype will be enough.
