2017-12-15batman-adv: Add kernel-doc to functions in headersSven Eckelmann1-0/+6
Externally visible functions should be documented with kernel-doc. This usually refers to non-static functions but also static inline files in headers are visible in other files and should therefore be documented.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add kernel-doc to enums in headersSven Eckelmann1-0/+23
All enums in types.h are already documented. But some other headers still have private enums which also should be documented. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2017-12-15batman-adv: Use inline kernel-doc for enum/structSven Eckelmann1-6/+21
The inline kernel-doc comments make it easier to keep changes to the struct/enum synchronized with the documentation of the it. And it makes it easier for larger structures like struct batadv_priv to read the documentation inside the code.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Use parentheses in function kernel-docSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
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.

2016-11-08batman-adv: Cache the type of wifi device for each hardifSven Eckelmann1-3/+2
batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be taken. The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits without imposing extra locking requirements.

2016-11-08batman-adv: refactor wifi interface detectionMarek Lindner1-0/+1
The ELP protocol requires cfg80211 to auto-detect the WiFi througput to a given neighbor. Use batadv_is_cfg80211_netdev() to determine whether or not an interface is eligible.

2016-10-30batman-adv: Simple (re)broadcast avoidanceLinus Lüssing1-0/+16
With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided: * No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there is no node behind it. * Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back. * Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back. Goodies for BATMAN V: ("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!") Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2 packets, too. Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V.

2016-02-23batman-adv: Rename batadv_hardif *_free_ref function to *_putSven Eckelmann1-2/+2
The batman-adv source code is the only place in the kernel which uses the *_free_ref naming scheme for the *_put functions. Changing it to *_put makes it more consistent and makes it easier to understand the connection to the *_get functions.

2016-02-10batman-adv: Convert batadv_hard_iface to krefSven Eckelmann1-9/+7
batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

2016-01-16batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free functionSven Eckelmann1-12/+0
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_hardif_free_ref.

2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann1-0/+11
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.

2014-01-12batman-adv: add WiFi penaltySimon Wunderlich1-0/+1
If the same interface is used for sending and receiving, there might be throughput degradation on half-duplex interfaces such as WiFi. Add a penalty if the same interface is used to reflect this problem in the metric. At the same time, change the hop penalty from 30 to 15 so there will be no change for single wifi mesh network. the effective hop penalty will stay at 30 due to the new wifi penalty for these networks.

2014-01-12batman-adv: split tq information in neigh_node structSimon Wunderlich1-0/+17
For the network wide multi interface optimization it is required to save metrics per outgoing interface in one neighbor. Therefore a new type is introduced to keep interface-specific information. This also requires some changes in access and list management. The compare and equiv_or_better API calls are changed to take the outgoing interface into consideration.

2013-10-23batman-adv: invoke dev_get_by_index() outside of is_wifi_iface()Antonio Quartulli1-1/+1
Upcoming changes need to perform other checks on the incoming net_device struct. To avoid performing dev_get_by_index() for each and every check, it is better to move it outside of is_wifi_iface() and search the netdev object once only.

2013-03-27batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removedSven Eckelmann1-1/+12
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. This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

batman-adv doesn't follow the style for multiline comments that David S. Miller prefers. All comments should be reformatted to follow this consistent style to make the code slightly more readable. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2012-06-20batman-adv: Prefix hard-interface non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann1-11/+11
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem.

2011-06-09batman-adv: Use enums for related constantsSven Eckelmann1-6/+8
CodingStyle "Chapter 12: Macros, Enums and RTL" recommends to use enums for several related constants.

It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data.
