* batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functionsSven Eckelmann2016-05-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann2015-06-071-15/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* batman-adv: Use safer default config for optional featuresSven Eckelmann2015-05-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current default settings for optional features in batman-adv seems to be based around the idea that the user only compiles what he requires. They will automatically enabled when they are compiled in. For example the network coding part of batman-adv is by default disabled in the out-of-tree module but will be enabled when the code is compiled during the module build. But distributions like Debian just enable all features of the batman-adv kernel module and hope that more experimental features or features with possible negative effects have to be enabled using some runtime configuration interface. The network_coding feature can help in specific setups but also has drawbacks and is not disabled by default in the out-of-tree module. Disabling by default in the runtime config seems to be also quite sane. The bridge_loop_avoidance is the only feature which is disabled by default but may be necessary even in simple setups. Packet loops may even be created during the initial node setup when this is not enabled. This is different than STP on bridges because mesh is usually used on Adhoc WiFi. Having two nodes (by accident) in the same LAN segment and in the same mesh network is rather common in this situation.

* batman-adv: increase default hop penaltySimon Wunderlich2014-08-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi penalty). After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well. We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all. This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty).

| * batman-adv: fix TT VLAN inconsistency on VLAN re-addAntonio Quartulli2014-07-211-14/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a VLAN interface (on top of batX) is removed and re-added within a short timeframe TT does not have enough time to properly cleanup. This creates an internal TT state mismatch as the newly created softif_vlan will be initialized from scratch with a TT client count of zero (even if TT entries for this VLAN still exist). The resulting TT messages are bogus due to the counter / tt client listing mismatch, thus creating inconsistencies on every node in the network To fix this issue destroy_vlan() has to not free the VLAN object immediately but it has to be kept alive until all the TT entries for this VLAN have been removed. destroy_vlan() still removes the sysfs folder so that the user has the feeling that everything went fine. If the same VLAN is re-added before the old object is free'd, then the latter is resurrected and re-used. Implement such behaviour by increasing the reference counter of a softif_vlan object every time a new local TT entry for such VLAN is created and remove the object from the list only when all the TT entries have been destroyed.

* batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flagLinus Lüssing2014-03-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too. Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise: MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers: ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------- {Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener} --------------- \ ^ ------- | br0 | < ??? ------- \ _-~---~_ _-~/ ~-_ ~ batman-adv \-----{Sender} \~_ cloud ~/ -~~__-__-~_/ I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier} -> br0 cannot detect the {Listener} => Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers. ----------------------------------------------------------- Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers, because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners. Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

* batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast supportLinus Lüssing2014-03-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes IPv6 multicast packet, too. The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6 link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2 and section 3). Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to break compatibility later. Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will always receive these ranges.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit present in kernels >= 3.9: "net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627) Therefore we can safely use eth_hdr() and vlan_eth_hdr() instead of skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts. At the same time set the mac_header in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request() before sending the skb along the TX path.

* batman-adv: add WiFi penaltySimon Wunderlich2014-01-121-1/+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.

* batman-adv: set the isolation mark in the skb if neededAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a broadcast packet is coming from a client marked as isolated, then mark the skb using the isolation mark so that netfilter (or any other application) can recognise them. The mark is written in the skb based on the mask value: only bits set in the mask are substitued by those in the mark value Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
* batman-adv: mark a local client as isolated when neededAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A client sending packets which mark matches the value configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag. The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the mask are compared with those in the mark value. If the configured mask is equal to 0 no operation is performed. Such flag is then advertised within the classic client announcement mechanism. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
* batman-adv: add isolation_mark sysfs attributeAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb. This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter policies. This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask". Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while $mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.

* batman-adv: send every DHCP packet as bat-unicastAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-35/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP Discover/Requests to the "best" server. On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts, but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as well. This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they were generated by a DHCP server or client.

* batman-adv: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimerAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in its documentation. In this way it is easier to update it in case of future changes. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
