* batman-adv: disable sysfs knobs when GW-mode is not implementedAntonio Quartulli2016-08-091-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the GW-mode code is algorithm specific, batman-adv expects the routing algorithm to implement some APIs to make it work. However, such APIs are not mandatory, therefore we might have algorithms not providing them. In this case all the sysfs knobs related to GW-mode should be deactivated to make sure that settings injected by the user for this feature are rejected.

* batman-adv: make the GW selection class algorithm specificAntonio Quartulli2016-08-091-2/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm uses a different metric compared to its predecessor and for this reason the logic used to compute the best Gateway is also changed. This means that the GW selection class fed to this logic has a semantics that depends on the algorithm being used. Make the parsing and printing routine of the GW selection class routing algorithm specific. Each algorithm can now parse (and print) this value independently. If no API is provided by any algorithm, the default is to use the current mechanism of considering such value like an integer between 1 and 255.

* batman-adv: Avoid sysfs name collision for netns movesSven Eckelmann2016-08-091-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kobject_put is only removing the sysfs entry and corresponding entries when its reference counter becomes zero. This tends to lead to collisions when a device is moved between two different network namespaces because some of the sysfs files have to be removed first and then added again to the already moved sysfs entry. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 290 at lib/kobject.c:240 kobject_add_internal+0x5ec/0x8a0 kobject_add_internal failed for batman_adv with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. But the caller of kobject_put can already remove the sysfs entry before it does the kobject_put. This removal is done even when the reference counter is not yet zero and thus avoids the problem.

* batman-adv: Modify mesh_iface outside sysfs contextSven Eckelmann2016-08-091-26/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The legacy sysfs interface to modify interfaces belonging to batman-adv is run inside a region holding s_lock. And to add a net_device, it has to also get the rtnl_lock. This is exactly the other way around than in other virtual net_devices and conflicts with netdevice notifier which executes inside rtnl_lock. The inverted lock situation is currently solved by executing the removal of netdevices via workqueue. The workqueue isn't executed inside rtnl_lock and thus can independently get the s_lock and the rtnl_lock. But this workaround fails when the netdevice notifier creates events in quick succession and the earlier triggered removal of a net_device isn't processed in the workqueue before the adding of the new netdevice (with same name) event is issued. Instead the legacy sysfs interface store events have to be enqueued in a workqueue to loose the s_lock. The worker is then free to get the required locks and the deadlock is avoided.

* batman-adv: split routing API data structure in subobjectsAntonio Quartulli2016-07-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The routing API data structure contains several function pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the component they work with. Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability. At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations much much longer.

* batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loopsSimon Wunderlich2016-05-101-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that: A...(mesh1)...B | | (LAN1) (LAN2) | | C...(mesh2)...D Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily, these kind of loops can be detected. This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others handle that problem.

* batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann2015-06-071-6/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll2013-03-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.
