2013-05-21batman-adv: Avoid double freeing of bat_countersMartin Hundebøll
On errors in batadv_mesh_init(), bat_counters will be freed in both batadv_mesh_free() and batadv_softif_init_late(). This patch fixes this by returning earlier from batadv_softif_init_late() in case of errors in batadv_mesh_init() and by setting bat_counters to NULL after freeing.

2013-04-22batman-adv: fix global protection fault during soft_iface destructionAntonio Quartulli
batadv_mesh_free() schedules some RCU callbacks which need the bat_priv struct to do their jobs, while free_netdev(), which is called immediately after, is destroying the private data. Put an rcu_barrier() in the middle so that free_netdev() is invoked only after all the callbacks returned.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - receive coded packets and decode themMartin Hundebøll
When receiving a network coded packet, the decoding buffer is searched for a packet to use for decoding. The source, destination, and crc32 from the coded packet is used to identify the wanted packet. The decoded packet is passed to the usual unicast receiver function, as had it never been network coded.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - save overheard and tx packets for decodingMartin Hundebøll
To be able to decode a network coded packet, a node must already know one of the two coded packets. This is done by buffering skbs before transmission and buffering packets sniffed with promiscuous mode from other hosts. Packets are kept in a buffer similar to the one with forward-skbs: A hash table, where each entry, which corresponds to a src-dst pair, has a linked list packets.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - code and transmit packets if possibleMartin Hundebøll
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.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll
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.

2012-11-16batman-adv: process broadcast packets in BLA earlierAntonio Quartulli
The logic in the BLA mechanism may decide to drop broadcast packets because the node may still be in the setup phase. For this reason, further broadcast processing like the early client detection mechanism must be done only after the BLA check. This patches moves the invocation to BLA before any other broadcast processing. This was introduced 30cfd02b60e1cb16f5effb0a01f826c5bb7e4c59 ("batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients") Reported-by: Glen Page <glen.page@thet.net> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2012-11-14batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flagAntonio Quartulli
tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen: instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not. With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messagesAntonio Quartulli
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast flooding mechanism. Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data structures and functions for ARP management.

2012-11-07batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet typeAntonio Quartulli
The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype will be enough.

2012-10-29batman-adv: Set special lockdep classes to avoid lockdep warningSven Eckelmann
Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock. This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each transmission.

2012-07-06batman-adv: check incoming packet type for blaSimon Wunderlich
If the gateway functionality is used, some broadcast packets (DHCP requests) may be transmitted as unicast packets. As the bridge loop avoidance code now only considers the payload Ethernet destination, it may drop the DHCP request for clients which are claimed by other backbone gateways, because it falsely infers from the broadcast address that the right backbone gateway should havehandled the broadcast. Fix this by checking and delegating the batman-adv packet type used for transmission.
