2016-05-10batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functionsSven Eckelmann1-15/+16
It is easier to understand that the returned value of a specific function doesn't have to be 0 when the functions was successful when the actual return type is bool. This is especially true when all surrounding functions with return type int use negative values to return the error code.

2016-04-29batman-adv: Fix reference counting of vlan object for tt_local_entrySven Eckelmann1-38/+4
The batadv_tt_local_entry was specific to a batadv_softif_vlan and held an implicit reference to it. But this reference was never stored in form of a pointer in the tt_local_entry itself. Instead batadv_tt_local_remove, batadv_tt_local_table_free and batadv_tt_local_purge_pending_clients depend on a consistent state of bat_priv->softif_vlan_list and that batadv_softif_vlan_get always returns the batadv_softif_vlan object which it has a reference for. But batadv_softif_vlan_get cannot guarantee that because it is working only with rcu_read_lock on this list. It can therefore happen that an vid is in this list twice or that batadv_softif_vlan_get cannot find the batadv_softif_vlan for an vid due to some other list operations taking place at the same time. Instead add a batadv_softif_vlan pointer directly in batadv_tt_local_entry which will be used for the reference counter decremented on release of batadv_tt_local_entry.

2016-02-16batman-adv: Only put orig_node_vlan list reference when removedSven Eckelmann1-2/+4
The batadv_orig_node_vlan reference counter in batadv_tt_global_size_mod can only be reduced when the list entry was actually removed. Otherwise the reference counter may reach zero when batadv_tt_global_size_mod is called from two different contexts for the same orig_node_vlan but only one context is actually removing the entry from the list. The release function for this orig_node_vlan is not called inside the vlan_list_lock spinlock protected region because the function batadv_tt_global_size_mod still holds a orig_node_vlan reference for the object pointer on the stack. Thus the actual release function (when required) will be called only at the end of the function.

2016-01-16batman-adv: Drop immediate orig_node free functionSven Eckelmann1-15/+13
It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore. But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions have to use batadv_orig_node_free_ref.

2015-12-07batman-adv: fix erroneous client entry duplicate detectionMarek Lindner1-2/+4
The translation table implementation, namely batadv_compare_tt(), is used to compare two client entries and deciding if they are the holding the same information. Each client entry is identified by its mac address and its VLAN id (VID). Consequently, batadv_compare_tt() has to not only compare the mac addresses but also the VIDs. Without this fix adding a new client entry that possesses the same mac address as another client but operates on a different VID will fail because both client entries will considered identical.

2015-12-07batman-adv: avoid keeping false temporary entrySimon Wunderlich1-2/+8
In the case when a temporary entry is added first and a proper tt entry is added after that, the temporary tt entry is kept in the orig list. However the temporary flag is removed at this point, and therefore the purge function can not find this temporary entry anymore. Therefore, remove the previous temp entry before adding the new proper one. This case can happen if a client behind a given originator moves before the TT announcement is sent out. Other than that, this case can also be created by bogus or malicious payload frames for VLANs which are not existent on the sending originator.

The object tt_local is allocated with kmalloc and not initialized when the function batadv_tt_local_add checks for the vlan. But this function can only cleanup the object when the (not yet initialized) reference counter of the object is 1. This is unlikely and thus the object would leak when the vlan could not be found. Instead the uninitialized object tt_local has to be freed manually and the pointer has to set to NULL to avoid calling the function which would try to decrement the reference counter of the not existing object.

2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann1-8/+31
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used. This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the knowledge about the right order of local includes. Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly. Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on config settings and may not be stable in the future. The order for include blocks are: * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file) * global linux headers * required local headers * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h. This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must therefore build together with userspace applications. The header linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have to include main.h to work correctly.
