Andrew Lunn 2cd45a0671 batman-adv: Create batman soft interfaces within correct netns.
When creating a soft interface, create it in the same netns as the
hard interface. Replace all references to init_net with the correct
name space for the interface being manipulated.

Antonio Quartulli b6cf5d499f batman-adv: B.A.T.M.A.N V - make sure iface is reactivated upon NETDEV_UP event
At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface
upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is
reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this
mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely
on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason
the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down
once.

This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API
which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation
upon interface re-activation.

Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it
just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE

Sven Eckelmann f2d23861b8 batman-adv: Deactivate TO_BE_ACTIVATED hardif on shutdown
The shutdown of an batman-adv interface can happen with one of its slave
interfaces still being in the BATADV_IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED state. A possible
reason for it is that the routing algorithm BATMAN_V was selected and
batadv_schedule_bat_ogm was not yet called for this interface. This slave
interface still has to be set to BATADV_IF_INACTIVE or the batman-adv
interface will never reduce its usage counter and thus never gets shutdown.

This problem can be simulated via:

    $ modprobe dummy
    $ modprobe batman-adv routing_algo=BATMAN_V
    $ ip link add bat0 type batadv
    $ ip link set dummy0 master bat0
    $ ip link set dummy0 up
    $ ip link del bat0
    unregister_netdevice: waiting for bat0 to become free. Usage count = 3

Andrew Lunn 1bc4e2b000 batman-adv: Avoid endless loop in bat-on-bat netdevice check
batman-adv checks in different situation if a new device is already on top
of a different batman-adv device. This is done by getting the iflink of a
device and all its parent. It assumes that this iflink is always a parent
device in an acyclic graph. But this assumption is broken by devices like
veth which are actually a pair of two devices linked to each other. The
recursive check would therefore get veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink on
veth1. And it gets veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink with veth1.

Creating a veth pair and loading batman-adv freezes parts of the system

    ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    modprobe batman-adv

An RCU stall will be detected on the system which cannot be fixed.

Antonio Quartulli a5256f7e74 batman-adv: don't access unregistered net_device object
In batadv_hardif_disable_interface() there is a call to
batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() which in turns invokes
unregister_netdevice() on the soft_iface.
After this point we cannot rely on the soft_iface object
anymore because it might get free'd by the netdev periodic
routine at any time.

For this reason the netdev_upper_dev_unlink(.., soft_iface) call
is moved before the invocation of batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() so
that we can be sure that the soft_iface object is still valid.

Sven Eckelmann 1e2c2a4fe4 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.

The local translation table size is limited by what can be

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.

Those attributes will affect the associated VLAN interface

configuration).

To make the code simpler and easier to extend, attributes

like belonging to yet another vlan having a special vid.
This vid is different from the others because it is made up

mechanism.

In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"
does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for
the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by
the users.

Sven Eckelmann 3dbd550b8b batman-adv: Allow to modify slaves of soft-interfaces through rntl_link
The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove slaves of an
soft-iface is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to
modify slaves of an interface.

An additional configuration interface though rtnl_link is introduced which
provides easy device adding/removing with tools like "ip":
$ ip link set dev eth0 master bat0
$ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster

Sven Eckelmann a15fd3612d batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removed
batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created
automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and
removed when no slave device exists anymore.

This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing
code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour
and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

Simon Wunderlich 5bc44dc845 batman-adv: postpone sysfs removal when unregistering
When processing the unregister notify for a hard interface, removing
the sysfs files may lead to a circular deadlock (rtnl mutex <->
s_active).

To overcome this problem, postpone the sysfs removal in a worker.

Sven Eckelmann 807736f6e0 batman-adv: Split batadv_priv in sub-structures for features
The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets
hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This
becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the
member name.

The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table
and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in
the bat_priv main struct.

Simon Wunderlich 624463079e batman-adv: check batadv_orig_hash_add_if() return code
If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been
resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not.
If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces,
this would lead to access to not allocated memory later.

We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if
no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes
with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for
a few too many bytes allocated).
