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.

Sven Eckelmann dab7b62190 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.

Simon Wunderlich e03366ea6b 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).

Antonio Quartulli 35df3b298f 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.

Linus Lüssing 4c8755d69c 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.

Linus Lüssing ab49886e3d 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.

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.

Linus Lüssing 927c2ed7e5 batman-adv: use vlan_/eth_hdr() instead of skb->data in interface_tx path
Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having
the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit
present in kernels >= 3.9:

"net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627)

Therefore we can safely use eth_hdr() and vlan_eth_hdr() instead of
skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts.

At the same time set the mac_header in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request()
before sending the skb along the TX path.

A client sending packets which mark matches the value
configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using
the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag.

The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the

performed.

Antonio Quartulli c42edfe382 batman-adv: add isolation_mark sysfs attribute
This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the
mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the
source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can
be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be
restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb.

This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter
policies.

This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask".
Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while
$mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits
in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.

Antonio Quartulli 6c413b1c22 batman-adv: send every DHCP packet as bat-unicast
In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server
or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages
to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of
using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP
Discover/Requests to the "best" server.

On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts,
but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as
well.

This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops
and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they
were generated by a DHCP server or client.

Antonio Quartulli 55883fd104 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.

Fix this by cleaning the netfilter state of the skb before
it gets delivered to the upper layer in interface_rx().

Martin Hundebøll d353d8d4d9 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.

The logic in the BLA mechanism may decide to drop broadcast packets

further broadcast processing like the early client detection mechanism

Antonio Quartulli 7c1fd91da5 batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flag
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.

Antonio Quartulli c384ea3ec9 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.

Antonio Quartulli 7cdcf6dddc batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet type
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.

Sven Eckelmann 36c1d15311 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.

Simon Wunderlich 2d3f6ccc4e batman-adv: check incoming packet type for bla
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.
