2013-05-29batman-adv: Move call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() from routing.c to send.cMartin Hundebøll8-37/+51
The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is looked up. To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from boolean to int.

2013-05-29batman-adv: print the VID properlyAntonio Quartulli1-16/+21
Since the MSB bits of any vid variable are now used for storing flags, print the vid properly by taking the flags away and printing -1 in case of VID representing no real VLAN. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2013-05-29batman-adv: change VID semantic in the BLA codeAntonio Quartulli5-33/+49
In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which will be used batman-adv wide. In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int" and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Acked-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de>

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.

2013-05-17batman-adv: Fix rcu_barrier() miss due to double call_rcu() in TT codeLinus Lüssing3-1/+23
rcu_barrier() only waits for the currently scheduled rcu functions to finish - it won't wait for any function scheduled via another call_rcu() within an rcu scheduled function. Unfortunately our batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_free_ref() does just that, via a batadv_orig_node_free_ref() call, leading to our rcu_barrier() call potentially missing such a batadv_orig_node_free_ref(). This patch fixes this issue by calling the batadv_orig_node_free_rcu() directly from the rcu callback, removing the unnecessary, additional call_rcu() layer here.

nc_worker accesses the originator table during its periodic work, but since the originator table is freed before stopping the worker this leads to a global protection fault.

2013-04-22batman-adv: use the proper header len when checking the TTVNAntonio Quartulli1-6/+5
Unicast packet might be of type either UNICAST or UNICAST4ADDR. In the two cases the header size is different, but the mechanism checking the TTVN field was assuming it to be always of the same type (UNICAST), so failing to access the inner Ethernet header in case of UNICAST4ADDR.

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.

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.

To be able to decode a network coded packet, a node must already know one of the two coded packets.

Before adding forward-skbs to the coding buffer, the buffer is searched for a potential coding opportunity. If one is found, the two packets are network coded and transmitted right away. If not, the forward-skb is added to the buffer. Network coded packets are transmitted with information about the two receivers and the two coded packets. The first receiver is given by the MAC header, while the second is given in the payload/bat-header. The second receiver uses promiscuous mode to receive the packet and check the second destination.

Two be able to network code two packets, one packet must be buffered until the next is available. This is done in a "coding buffer", which is essentially a hash table with lists of packets. Each entry in the hash table corresponds to a specific src-dst pair, which has a linked list of packets that are buffered. This patch adds skbs to the buffer just before forwarding them. The buffer is traversed every 10 ms, where timed skbs are removed from the buffer and transmitted. To allow experiments with the network coding scheme, the timeout is tunable through a file in debugfs.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - detect coding nodes and remove these after timeoutMartin Hundebøll7-0/+524
To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus overhear packets sent by each other. This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node (outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear (incoming nc_nodes). Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network coding.
