From 3236d215ad38a3f5372e65cd1e0a52cf93d3c6a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Lüssing Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 09:54:08 +0200 Subject: batman-adv: mcast: fix duplicate mcast packets in BLA backbone from LAN MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Scenario: * Multicast frame send from a BLA backbone (multiple nodes with their bat0 bridged together, with BLA enabled) Issue: * BLA backbone nodes receive the frame multiple times on bat0 For multicast frames received via batman-adv broadcast packets the originator of the broadcast packet is checked before decapsulating and forwarding the frame to bat0 (batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw()-> batadv_recv_bcast_packet()). If it came from a node which shares the same BLA backbone with us then it is not forwarded to bat0 to avoid a loop. When sending a multicast frame in a non-4-address batman-adv unicast packet we are currently missing this check - and cannot do so because the batman-adv unicast packet has no originator address field. However, we can simply fix this on the sender side by only sending the multicast frame via unicasts to interested nodes which do not share the same BLA backbone with us. This also nicely avoids some unnecessary transmissions on mesh side. Note that no infinite loop was observed, probably because of dropping via batadv_interface_tx()->batadv_bla_tx(). However the duplicates still utterly confuse switches/bridges, ICMPv6 duplicate address detection and neighbor discovery and therefore leads to long delays before being able to establish TCP connections, for instance. And it also leads to the Linux bridge printing messages like: "br-lan: received packet on eth1 with own address as source address ..."

However for multicast we currently cannot determine if multiple destination nodes share the same backbone if they don't share the same backbone with us. So we need to keep sending the unicasts to all backbone gateways and let the backbone gateways decide which one will forward the frame. We can use the CLAIM mechanism to make this decision. One catch: The batman-adv gateway feature for DHCP packets potentially sends multicast packets in the same batman-adv unicast header as the multicast optimizations code. And we are not allowed to drop those even if we did not claim the source address of the sender, as for such packets there is only this one multicast-in-unicast packet. How can we distinguish the two cases? The gateway feature uses a batman-adv unicast 4 address header. While the multicast-to-unicasts feature uses a simple, 3 address batman-adv unicast header. So let's use this to distinguish.
