batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header 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.

batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for hardif genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the slave/hard-interface have B.A.T.M.A.N. V specific configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detection The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either receive some entries multiple times or miss entries. Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again. The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

batman-adv: throughput meter implementation The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

batman-adv: drop batman-adv specific version Bumping the version number on the first pull request after each merge window was deemed inappropriate for an in-tree component. The version number carries little meaningful information in the context of the Linux kernel release model, where stable and distribution might all carry slightly different patches (without any change to the batman-adv version). Instead, expose a UTS_RELEASE-based string to consumers of the netlink and ethtool interfaces. To avoid recompilation for each (re)generate of generated/utsrelease.h, init_utsname()->release is used in code which can dynamically retrieve the version string. The MODULE_VERSION is moved to a separate file because it doesn't support dynamic retrieval of the version string (but constant "at compile time" string) and it is required for the /sys/module/batman_adv/version. The latter is unfortunately still required by userspace tools.

batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client. The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the gw_mode server was selected. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the attributes: * u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interface The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI.

batman-adv: Add multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targets With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

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.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for mesh genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. The main objects for this configuration is the mesh/soft-interface object. Its actual object in memory already contains most of the available configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the mesh specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH_INFO (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH) is reused as get command because it already provides the content of other information from the mesh/soft-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

Its actual object in memory already contains most of the available configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the mesh specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH_INFO (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH) is reused as get command because it already provides the content of other information from the mesh/soft-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

batman-adv: drop batman-adv specific version Bumping the version number on the first pull request after each merge window was deemed inappropriate for an in-tree component. The version number carries little meaningful information in the context of the Linux kernel release model, where stable and distribution might all carry slightly different patches (without any change to the batman-adv version). Instead, expose a UTS_RELEASE-based string to consumers of the netlink and ethtool interfaces. To avoid recompilation for each (re)generate of generated/utsrelease.h, init_utsname()->release is used in code which can dynamically retrieve the version string. The MODULE_VERSION is moved to a separate file because it doesn't support dynamic retrieval of the version string (but constant "at compile time" string) and it is required for the /sys/module/batman_adv/version. The latter is unfortunately still required by userspace tools.

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 multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targets With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

Its actual object in memory already contains most of the available configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the mesh specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH_INFO (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH) is reused as get command because it already provides the content of other information from the mesh/soft-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interface The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI. But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent name again. The bulk of the renaming was done using sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \ -e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g' and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client.

batman-adv: Add multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targets With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interface The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI. But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent name again. The bulk of the renaming was done using sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \ -e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g' and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

It is rather likely that the transfer has to interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either receive some entries multiple times or miss entries. Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again. The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

This makes it easy for the receiver to operate on the incoming data when it either needs to print something or needs to operate on the interface index. But one of the attributes was missing for: * neighbor table dumps * originator table dumps * gateway list dumps * query of hardif information * query of vid information The userspace therefore had to implement special workarounds using SIOCGIFNAME or SIOCGIFINDEX depending on what was actually provided. Providing both information simplifies the userspace code massively without adding a lot of extra overhead in the kernel portion.

But one of the attributes was missing for: * neighbor table dumps * originator table dumps * gateway list dumps * query of hardif information * query of vid information The userspace therefore had to implement special workarounds using SIOCGIFNAME or SIOCGIFINDEX depending on what was actually provided. Providing both information simplifies the userspace code massively without adding a lot of extra overhead in the kernel portion.

batman-adv: Introduce a configurable per interface hop penalty In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire to consider one of them as a backup only. Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty. This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty to simplify such setups.

batman-adv: Add inconsistent hardif netlink dump detection The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either receive some entries multiple times or miss entries. Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again. The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for vlan genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the VLANs on top of the mesh/soft-interface have configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the vlan specific commands BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

batman-adv: Add ap_isolation mesh/vlan genl configuration The mesh interface can drop messages between clients to implement a mesh-wide AP isolation. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH and BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_AP_ISOLATION_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature. This feature also requires that skbuff which should be handled as isolated are marked. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the mark/mask using the u32 attributes BATADV_ATTR_ISOLATION_MARK and BATADV_ATTR_ISOLATION_MASK.

batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interface The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI.

batman-adv: Move common genl doit code pre/post hooks The commit ff4c92d85c6f ("genetlink: introduce pre_doit/post_doit hooks") intoduced a mechanism to run specific code for doit hooks before/after the hooks are run.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for hardif genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the slave/hard-interface have B.A.T.M.A.N. V specific configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for vlan genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the VLANs on top of the mesh/soft-interface have configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the vlan specific commands BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

genetlink: introduce split op representation We currently have two forms of operations - small ops and "full" ops (or just ops). The former does not have pointers for some of the less commonly used features (namely dump start/done and policy). The "full" ops, however, still don't contain all the necessary information. In particular the policy is per command ID, while do and dump often accept different attributes. It's also not possible to define different pre_doit and post_doit callbacks for different commands within the family. At the same time a lot of commands do not support dumping and therefore all the dump-related information is wasted space. Create a new command representation which can hold info about a do implementation or a dump implementation, but not both at the same time. Use this new representation on the command execution path (genl_family_rcv_msg) as we either run a do or a dump and don't have to create a "full" op there.

Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the slave/hard-interface have B.A.T.M.A.N. V specific configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

genetlink: introduce split op representation We currently have two forms of operations - small ops and "full" ops (or just ops). The former does not have pointers for some of the less commonly used features (namely dump start/done and policy). The "full" ops, however, still don't contain all the necessary information. In particular the policy is per command ID, while do and dump often accept different attributes. It's also not possible to define different pre_doit and post_doit callbacks for different commands within the family. At the same time a lot of commands do not support dumping and therefore all the dump-related information is wasted space. Create a new command representation which can hold info about a do implementation or a dump implementation, but not both at the same time. Use this new representation on the command execution path (genl_family_rcv_msg) as we either run a do or a dump and don't have to create a "full" op there.

batman-adv: allow netlink usage in unprivileged containers Currently, creating a batman-adv interface in an unprivileged LXD container and attaching secondary interfaces to it with "ip" or "batctl" works fine.

This way a batman-adv interface is fully maintainable as root from within a user namespace, from an unprivileged container. All except one batman-adv netlink setting are per interface and do not leak information or change settings from the host system and are therefore save to retrieve or modify as root from within an unprivileged container. "batctl routing_algo" / BATADV_CMD_GET_ROUTING_ALGOS is the only exception: It provides the batman-adv kernel module wide default routing algorithm. However it is read-only from netlink and an unprivileged container is still not allowed to modify /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo. Instead it is advised to use the newly introduced "batctl if create routing_algo RA_NAME" / IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME to set the routing algorithm on interface creation, which already works fine in an unprivileged container.

batman-adv: Prepare framework for hardif genl config The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the slave/hard-interface have B.A.T.M.A.N. V specific configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

batman-adv: allow netlink usage in unprivileged containers Currently, creating a batman-adv interface in an unprivileged LXD container and attaching secondary interfaces to it with "ip" or "batctl" works fine.

This way a batman-adv interface is fully maintainable as root from within a user namespace, from an unprivileged container. All except one batman-adv netlink setting are per interface and do not leak information or change settings from the host system and are therefore save to retrieve or modify as root from within an unprivileged container. "batctl routing_algo" / BATADV_CMD_GET_ROUTING_ALGOS is the only exception: It provides the batman-adv kernel module wide default routing algorithm. However it is read-only from netlink and an unprivileged container is still not allowed to modify /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo. Instead it is advised to use the newly introduced "batctl if create routing_algo RA_NAME" / IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME to set the routing algorithm on interface creation, which already works fine in an unprivileged container.

In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware. Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be moved to netlink.

genetlink: mark families as __ro_after_init Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that) writing to the family struct. In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can actually be marked __ro_after_init.

genetlink: make policy common to family Since maxattr is common, the policy can't really differ sanely, so make it common as well. The only user that did in fact manage to make a non-common policy is taskstats, which has to be really careful about it (since it's still using a common maxattr!). This is no longer supported, but we can fake it using pre_doit. This reduces the size of e.g. nl80211.o (which has lots of commands): text data bss dec hex filename 398745 14323 2240 415308 6564c net/wireless/nl80211.o (before) 397913 14331 2240 414484 65314 net/wireless/nl80211.o (after) -------------------------------- -832 +8 0 -824 Which is obviously just 8 bytes for each command, and an added 8 bytes for the new policy pointer. I'm not sure why the ops list is counted as .text though. Most of the code transformations were done using the following spatch: @ops@ identifier OPS; expression POLICY; @@ struct genl_ops OPS[] = { ..., { - .policy = POLICY, }, ... }; @@ identifier ops.OPS; expression ops.POLICY; identifier fam; expression M; @@ struct genl_family fam = { .ops = OPS, .maxattr = M, + .policy = POLICY, ... }; This also gets rid of devlink_nl_cmd_region_read_dumpit() accessing the cb->data as ops, which we want to change in a later genl patch.

genetlink: statically initialize families Instead of providing macros/inline functions to initialize the families, make all users initialize them statically and get rid of the macros. This reduces the kernel code size by about 1.6k on x86-64 (with allyesconfig). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious bytes in the future. One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands for some core families. To make sure that new families do the right thing by default put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-adv debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel where files are dynamically added and removed (see http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware. Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be moved to netlink. This will fix the long standing problem of large buffers for debug tables and hard to parse text files.
