2016-08-09batman-adv: Allow to disable debugfs supportSven Eckelmann
The files provided by batman-adv via debugfs are currently converted to netlink. Tools which are not yet converted to use the netlink interface may still rely on the old debugfs files. But systems which already upgraded their tools can save some space by disabling this feature. The default configuration of batman-adv on amd64 can reduce the size of the module by around 11% when this feature is disabled. $ size net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko* text data bss dec hex filename 150507 10395 4160 165062 284c6 net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko.y 137106 7099 2112 146317 23b8d net/batman-adv/batman-adv.ko.n Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2016-07-04batman-adv: throughput meter implementationAntonio Quartulli
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.

2016-07-04batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-advMatthias Schiffer
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.

The bat_algo functionality in main.c is mostly unrelated to the rest of the content. It still takes up a large portion of this source file (~15%, 103 lines). Moving it to a separate file makes it better visible as a main component of the batman-adv implementation and hides it less in the other helper functions in main.c.

2016-02-29batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructureAntonio Quartulli
This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol (version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the newly added ELP. In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric information. In this version the protocol is in charge of the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP. This means being able to decouple the interval used by the neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

2016-02-29batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructureLinus Luessing
The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality information through the whole mesh. This procedure is summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in details in the RFC draft published in 2008. This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it also bears some drawbacks: * Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss, therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow a fast reaction on flaky connections. Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce overhead. * It generally is more desirable to detect local link quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of the mesh does not need to care about local link quality changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time. As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these link quality information and determining the overall path transmit qualities.

2015-05-29batman-adv: debugfs, avoid compiling for !DEBUG_FSMarkus Pargmann
Normally the debugfs framework will return error pointer with -ENODEV for function calls when DEBUG_FS is not set. batman does not notice this error code and continues trying to create debugfs files and executes more code. We can avoid this code execution by disabling compiling debugfs.c when DEBUG_FS is not set.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll
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.

2012-07-01batman-adv: Remove bat_ prefix from bat_{debugfs, sysfs}.{c, h}Sven Eckelmann
The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm. The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets renamed.

2012-04-11batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich
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.
