Syzbot has reported some issues with the locking assumptions made for
the multicast tt/tvlv worker: It was able to trigger the WARN_ON() in
batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract() and batadv_mcast_mla_tt_add().
While hard/not reproduceable for us so far it seems that the
delayed_work_pending() we use might not be quite safe from reordering.
Therefore this patch adds an explicit, new spinlock to protect the
update of the mla_list and flags in bat_priv and then removes the
WARN_ON(delayed_work_pending()).

The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They are
already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. Add an Kconfig
option to disable the sysfs support for users who want to test their tools
or want to safe some space. This setting should currently still be enabled
by default to keep backward compatible with legacy tools.

The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the
kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to
interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that
either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either
receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.
Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a
mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide
whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.
The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid
changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation
sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).
The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
requirements at the same time.

This patch refactors the num_packets counter of a forw_packet in the
following three ways:
1) Removed dual-use of forw_packet::num_packets:
-> now for aggregation purposes only
2) Using forw_packet::skb::cb::num_bcasts instead:
-> for easier access in aggregation code later
3) make access to num_bcasts private to batadv_forw_packet_*()

The files provided by batman-adv via debugfs are currently converted to
netlink. Tools which are not yet converted to use the netlink interface may
still rely on the old debugfs files. But systems which already upgraded
their tools can save some space by disabling this feature. The default
configuration of batman-adv on amd64 can reduce the size of the module by
around 11% when this feature is disabled.

The translation table (global, local) is usually the part of batman-adv
which has the most dynamical allocated objects. Most of them
(tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry, tt_orig_list_entry, tt_change_node,
tt_req_node, tt_roam_node) are equally sized. So it makes sense to have
them allocated from a kmem_cache for each type.
This approach allowed a small wireless router (TP-Link TL-841NDv8; SLUB
allocator) to store 34% more translation table entries compared to the
current implementation.

The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.
It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.
The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.

debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel
where files are dynamically added and removed (see
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some
details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware.
Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be
moved to netlink. This will fix the long standing problem of large buffers
for debug tables and hard to parse text files.

batadv_tvlv_container_get requires that tvlv.container_list_lock is held by
the caller. It is therefore not possible that an item in
tvlv.container_list has an reference counter of 0 and is still in the list
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.

The receive function may start processing an incoming packet while the
hard_iface is shut down in a different context. All called functions called
with the batadv_hard_iface object belonging to the incoming interface would
have to check whether the reference counter is still > 0.
This is rather error-prone because this check can be forgotten easily.
Instead check the reference counter when receiving the object to make sure
that all called functions have a valid reference.

This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.
In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.
This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single
message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to
the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality
information through the whole mesh. This procedure is
summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in
details in the RFC draft published in 2008.
This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the
protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it
also bears some drawbacks:
* Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss,
therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow
a fast reaction on flaky connections.
Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to
Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet
loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce
overhead.
* It generally is more desirable to detect local link
quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all
these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of
the mesh does not need to care about local link quality
changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like
reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't
used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time.
As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled
by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message
type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these
link quality information and determining the overall path
transmit qualities.

Ascom (Switzerland) AG.
