2022-08-29genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytesJakub Kicinski1-0/+1
We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious bytes in the future. One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands for some core families. To make sure that new families do the right thing by default put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

2021-11-15batman-adv: allow netlink usage in unprivileged containersLinus Lüssing1-15/+15
Currently, creating a batman-adv interface in an unprivileged LXD container and attaching secondary interfaces to it with "ip" or "batctl" works fine. However all batctl debug and configuration commands fail: root@container:~# batctl originators Error received: Operation not permitted root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 2000 root@container:~# batctl orig_interval 1000 To fix this change the generic netlink permissions from GENL_ADMIN_PERM to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM. This way a batman-adv interface is fully maintainable as root from within a user namespace, from an unprivileged container. All except one batman-adv netlink setting are per interface and do not leak information or change settings from the host system and are therefore save to retrieve or modify as root from within an unprivileged container. "batctl routing_algo" / BATADV_CMD_GET_ROUTING_ALGOS is the only exception: It provides the batman-adv kernel module wide default routing algorithm. However it is read-only from netlink and an unprivileged container is still not allowed to modify /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo. Instead it is advised to use the newly introduced "batctl if create routing_algo RA_NAME" / IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME to set the routing algorithm on interface creation, which already works fine in an unprivileged container.

2021-05-17batman-adv: Always send iface index+name in genlmsgSven Eckelmann1-0/+8
The batman-adv netlink messages often contain the interface index and interface name in the same message. This makes it easy for the receiver to operate on the incoming data when it either needs to print something or needs to operate on the interface index. But one of the attributes was missing for: * neighbor table dumps * originator table dumps * gateway list dumps * query of hardif information * query of vid information The userspace therefore had to implement special workarounds using SIOCGIFNAME or SIOCGIFINDEX depending on what was actually provided. Providing both information simplifies the userspace code massively without adding a lot of extra overhead in the kernel portion.

2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system.

2020-06-26batman-adv: Introduce a configurable per interface hop penaltyLinus Lüssing1-1/+11
In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire to consider one of them as a backup only. Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty. This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty to simplify such setups.

2019-03-25batman-adv: Add multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targetsLinus Lüssing1-0/+11
With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

2019-03-22genetlink: make policy common to familyJohannes Berg1-18/+1
Since maxattr is common, the policy can't really differ sanely, so make it common as well. The only user that did in fact manage to make a non-common policy is taskstats, which has to be really careful about it (since it's still using a common maxattr!). This is no longer supported, but we can fake it using pre_doit. This reduces the size of e.g. nl80211.o (which has lots of commands): text data bss dec hex filename 398745 14323 2240 415308 6564c net/wireless/nl80211.o (before) 397913 14331 2240 414484 65314 net/wireless/nl80211.o (after) -------------------------------- -832 +8 0 -824 Which is obviously just 8 bytes for each command, and an added 8 bytes for the new policy pointer. I'm not sure why the ops list is counted as .text though. Most of the code transformations were done using the following spatch: @ops@ identifier OPS; expression POLICY; @@ struct genl_ops OPS[] = { ..., { - .policy = POLICY, }, ... }; @@ identifier ops.OPS; expression ops.POLICY; identifier fam; expression M; @@ struct genl_family fam = { .ops = OPS, .maxattr = M, + .policy = POLICY, ... }; This also gets rid of devlink_nl_cmd_region_read_dumpit() accessing the cb->data as ops, which we want to change in a later genl patch.

The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client. The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the gw_mode server was selected.

Its actual object in memory already contains most of the available configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the mesh specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH_INFO (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH) is reused as get command because it already provides the content of other information from the mesh/soft-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Move common genl doit code pre/post hooksSven Eckelmann1-43/+100
The commit ff4c92d85c6f ("genetlink: introduce pre_doit/post_doit hooks") intoduced a mechanism to run specific code for doit hooks before/after the hooks are run. Since all doit hooks are requiring the batadv softif, it should be retrieved/freed in these helpers to simplify the code.

2018-11-12batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detectionSven Eckelmann1-10/+14
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.

2017-12-21batman-adv: Convert packet.h to uapi headerSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
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. Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet packets.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Use parentheses in function kernel-docSven Eckelmann1-11/+11
The documentation describing kernel-doc comments for functions ("How to format kernel-doc comments") uses parentheses at the end of the function name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a different kernel-doc section.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright headerSven Eckelmann1-0/+1
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.
