batman-adv: Add required includes to all files 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: add basic bridge loop avoidance code This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.

batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure code 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.

batman-adv: Remove orig_node reference handling from send_skb_unicast The function batadv_send_skb_unicast is not acquiring a reference for an orig_node nor removing it from any datastructure. It still reduces the reference counter for an object which is still in the hands of the caller.

batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages 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.

batman-adv: limit local translation table max size The local translation table size is limited by what can be transferred from one node to another via a full table request. The number of entries fitting into a full table request depend on whether the fragmentation is enabled or not. Therefore this patch introduces a max table size check and refuses to add more local clients when that size is reached. Moreover, if the max full table packet size changes (MTU change or fragmentation is disabled) the local table is downsized instantaneously.

batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance code This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.

batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanism The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that client from any given point in the mesh. The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables (table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the client is connected to and its address in the global translation table. It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several issues: - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of connected clients) - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and OGM losses The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the overhead within the OGMs. To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to determine whether or not they need to update their translation table information. When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

batman-adv: Simple (re)broadcast avoidance 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.

The GW component in batman-adv takes care of using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP Discover/Requests to the "best" server.

batman-adv: clean nf state when removing protocol header If an interface enslaved into batman-adv is a bridge (or a virtual interface built on top of a bridge) the nf_bridge member of the skbs reaching the soft-interface is filled with the state about "netfilter bridge" operations. Then, if one of such skbs is locally delivered, the nf_bridge member should be cleaned up to avoid that the old state could mess up with other "netfilter bridge" operations when entering a second bridge. This is needed because batman-adv is an encapsulation protocol. However at the moment skb->nf_bridge is not released at all leading to bogus "netfilter bridge" behaviours.

batman-adv: change interface_rx to get orig node In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known). This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not have source field). Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

batman-adv: fix TT VLAN inconsistency on VLAN re-add 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.

batman-adv: Place kref_get for softif_vlan near use It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right before the place which requires the reference and in the same function helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.

batman-adv: fix TT VLAN inconsistency on VLAN re-add 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: Set special lockdep classes to avoid lockdep warning 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.

batman-adv: Use safer default config for optional features 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: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore, the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce unnecessary overhead: If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming from the upstream of this node... * ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the translation table, * ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested multicast listeners * ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast support 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.

batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flag 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: increase default hop penalty 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).

The number of entries fitting into a full table request depend on whether the fragmentation is enabled or not. Therefore this patch introduces a max table size check and refuses to add more local clients when that size is reached. Moreover, if the max full table packet size changes (MTU change or fragmentation is disabled) the local table is downsized instantaneously.

This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter policies. This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask".

batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure code 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.

batman-adv: add per VLAN interface attribute framework Since batman-adv is now fully VLAN-aware, a proper framework able to handle per-vlan-interface attributes is needed. Those attributes will affect the associated VLAN interface only, rather than the real soft_iface (which would result in every vlan interface having the same attribute configuration). To make the code simpler and easier to extend, attributes associated to the standalone soft_iface are now treated like belonging to yet another vlan having a special vid. This vid is different from the others because it is made up by all zeros and the VLAN_HAS_TAG bit is not set.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state. Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletion The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces. An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip": $ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

batman-adv: Clean up untagged vlan when destroying via rtnl-link The untagged vlan object is only destroyed when the interface is removed via the legacy sysfs interface. But it also has to be destroyed when the standard rtnl-link interface is used.

batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functions 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: Disallow regular interface as mesh device When trying to associate a net_device with another net_device which already exists, batman-adv assumes that this interface is a fully initialized batman mesh interface without checking it. The behaviour when accessing data behind netdev_priv of a random net_device is undefined and potentially dangerous.

batman-adv: Prefix soft-interface local static functions with batadv_ All non-static symbols of batman-adv were prefixed with batadv_ to avoid collisions with other symbols of the kernel. Other symbols of batman-adv should use the same prefix to keep the naming scheme consistent. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
