Antonio Quartulli 48100bac89 batman-adv: create a common substructure for tt_global/local_entry
Several functions in the translation table management code assume that the
tt_global_entry and tt_local_entry structures have the same initial fields such
as 'addr' and 'hash_entry'. To improve the code readability and to avoid
mistakes in later changes, a common substructure that substitute the shared
fields has been introduced (struct tt_common_entry).

Thanks to this modification, it has also been possible to slightly reduce the
code length by merging some functions like compare_ltt/gtt() and
tt_local/global_hash_find()

Simon Wunderlich d099c2c541 batman-adv: directly write tt entries without buffering
When the translation tables (global and local) are written for debugfs,
it is not neccesary to allocate a buffer, we can directly use
seq_printf() to print them out.

This might actually be safer if the table changes between size
calculation and traversal, and we can't estimate the required size
wrong.

Antonio Quartulli c90681b850 batman-adv: fixed hash functions type to uint32_t instead of int
There are two reasons for this fix:
- the result of choose_orig() and vis_choose() is an index and therefore it can't
  be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too.

- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
  choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
  argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
  the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected
  length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.

Antonio Quartulli eb7e2a1e20 batman-adv: use orig_hash_find() instead of get_orig_node() in TT code
get_orig_node() tries to retrieve an orig_node object based on a mac address
and creates it if not present. This is not the wanted behaviour in the
translation table code as we don't want to create new orig_code objects but
expect a NULL pointer if the object does not exist.

have to be sent on the wire, while the eight ending ones are used for local
computation only.

Moreover 'enum tt_change_flags' is now called 'enum tt_client_flags' and the

Antonio Quartulli cc47f66e6b batman-adv: improved roaming mechanism
With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

Antonio Quartulli a73105b8d4 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.

David Decotigny 7073949720 ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work

Like other virtual interfaces, e.g. br0, we don't need a transmit
queue. Packets should only be queued on real interfaces which are
underneath. In practice this patch makes little difference since the
virtual interfaces can accept packets as fast as they come, but the
patch will avoid bufferbloat questions to the mailling lists in the

Linus Lüssing 9e0b33c221 batman-adv: Fix possible buffer overflow in softif neigh list output
When printing the soft interface table the number of entries in the
softif neigh list are first being counted and a fitting buffer
allocated. After that the softif neigh list gets locked again and
the buffer printed - which has the following two issues:

For one thing, the softif neigh list might have grown when reacquiring
the rcu lock, which results in writing outside of the allocated buffer.
Furthermore 31 Bytes are not enough for printing an entry with a vid
of more than 2 digits.

The manual buffering is unnecessary, we can safely print to the seq
directly during the rcu_read_lock().

Sven Eckelmann c2f7f0e7b3 batman-adv: Use successive sequence numbers for fragments
The two fragments of an unicast packet must have successive sequence numbers to
allow the receiver side to detect matching fragments and merge them again. The
current implementation doesn't provide that property because a sequence of two
atomic_inc_return may be interleaved with another sequence which also changes
the variable.

The access to the fragment sequence number pool has either to be protected by
correct locking or it has to reserve two sequence numbers in a single fetch.
The latter one can easily be done by increasing the value of the last used
sequence number by 2 in a single step. The generated window of two currently
unused sequence numbers can now be scattered across the two fragments.

Sven Eckelmann ae361ce19f batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packets
The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with
the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments
can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven
length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that
the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL.

The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible
to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads.

The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to
remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly
unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the
configured MTUs.

Sven Eckelmann 5c77d8bb8a batman-adv: Create roughly equal sized fragments
The routing algorithm must know how large two fragments are to be able to
decide that it is safe to merge them or if it should resubmit without waiting
for the second part. When these two fragments have a too different size, it is
not possible to guess right in every situation.

The user could easily configure the MTU of the attached cards so that one
fragment is forwarded and the other one is added to the fragments table to wait
for the missing part.

For even sized packets, it is possible to split it so that the resulting
packages are equal sized by ignoring the old non-fragment header at the
beginning of the original packet.

This still creates different sized fragments for uneven sized packets.

Sven Eckelmann 1181e1daac batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafe
The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.

The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.

The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
not pointing to correct next element.

It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

The hash_iterate removal introduced a bug leading to a kernel panic when
fetching the vis data on a vis server. That commit forgot to rename one
variable name, which this commit fixes now.

Sven Eckelmann aa0adb1a85 batman-adv: Use "__attribute__" shortcut macros
Linux 2.6.21 defines different macros for __attribute__ which are also
used inside batman-adv. The next version of checkpatch.pl warns about
the usage of __attribute__((packed))).

Linux 2.6.33 defines an extra macro __always_unused which is used to
assist source code analyzers and can be used to removed the last
existing __attribute__ inside the source code.

Jesper Juhl ed7809d9c4 batman-adv: Even Batman should not dereference NULL pointers
There's a problem in net/batman-adv/unicast.c::frag_send_skb().
dev_alloc_skb() allocates memory and may fail, thus returning NULL. If
this happens we'll pass a NULL pointer on to skb_split() which in turn
hands it to skb_split_inside_header() from where it gets passed to
skb_put() that lets skb_tail_pointer() play with it and that function
dereferences it. And thus the bat dies.

While I was at it I also moved the call to dev_alloc_skb() above the
assignment to 'unicast_packet' since there's no reason to do that
assignment if the memory allocation fails.

hna_local_fill_buffer must return the number of added hna entries and
not the last checked hash bucket.
