2021-08-18batman-adv: bcast: remove remaining skb-copy callsLinus Lüssing
We currently have two code paths for broadcast packets: A) self-generated, via batadv_interface_tx()-> batadv_send_bcast_packet(). B) received/forwarded, via batadv_recv_bcast_packet()-> batadv_forw_bcast_packet(). For A), self-generated broadcast packets: The only modifications to the skb data is the ethernet header which is added/pushed to the skb in batadv_send_broadcast_skb()->batadv_send_skb_packet(). However before doing so, batadv_skb_head_push() is called which calls skb_cow_head() to unshare the space for the to be pushed ethernet header. So for this case, it is safe to use skb clones. For B), received/forwarded packets: The same applies as in A) for the to be forwarded packets. Only the ethernet header is added. However after (queueing for) forwarding the packet in batadv_recv_bcast_packet()->batadv_forw_bcast_packet(), a packet is additionally decapsulated and is sent up the stack through batadv_recv_bcast_packet()->batadv_interface_rx(). Protocols higher up the stack are already required to check if the packet is shared and create a copy for further modifications. When the next (protocol) layer works correctly, it cannot happen that it tries to operate on the data behind the skb clone which is still queued up for forwarding.

2021-05-17batman-adv: bcast: avoid skb-copy for (re)queued broadcastsLinus Lüssing
Broadcast packets send via batadv_send_outstanding_bcast_packet() were originally copied in batadv_forw_bcast_packet_to_list() before being queued. And after that only the ethernet header will be pushed through batadv_send_broadcast_skb()->batadv_send_skb_packet() which works safely on skb clones as it uses batadv_skb_head_push()->skb_cow_head().

2021-05-17batman-adv: bcast: queue per interface, if neededLinus Lüssing
Currently we schedule a broadcast packet like: 3x: [ [(re-)queue] --> for(hard-if): maybe-transmit ] The intention of queueing a broadcast packet multiple times is to increase robustness for wireless interfaces. However on interfaces which we only broadcast on once the queueing induces an unnecessary penalty. This patch restructures the queueing to be performed on a per interface basis: for(hard-if): - transmit - if wireless: [queue] --> transmit --> [requeue] --> transmit Next to the performance benefits on non-wireless interfaces this should also make it easier to apply alternative strategies for transmissions on wireless interfaces in the future (for instance sending via unicast transmissions on wireless interfaces, without queueing in batman-adv, if appropriate).

2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system.

With some carefully placed msleep()s/mdelay()s it can be reproduced easily. The issue is, that on interface removal, any still running worker thread of a forwarding packet will race with the interface purging routine to free a forwarding packet. Temporarily giving up a spin-lock to be able to sleep in the purging routine is not safe. Furthermore, there is a potential general protection fault not just for the purging side shown above, but also on the worker side: Temporarily removing a forw_packet from the according forw_{bcast,bat}_list will make it impossible for the purging routine to catch and cancel it. # How this patch tries to fix it: With this patch we split the queue purging into three steps: Step 1), removing forward packets from the queue of an interface and by that claim it as our responsibility to free. Step 2), we are either lucky to cancel a pending worker before it starts to run. Or if it is already running, we wait and let it do its thing, except two things: Through the claiming in step 1) we prevent workers from a) re-arming themselves. And b) prevent workers from freeing packets which we still hold in the interface purging routine. Finally, step 3, we are sure that no forwarding packets are pending or even running anymore on the interface to remove. We can then safely free the claimed forwarding packets.

2016-10-30batman-adv: Simple (re)broadcast avoidanceLinus Lüssing
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 batadv_hardif_list list is checked in many situations and the items in this list are given to specialized functions to modify the routing behavior. At the moment each of these called functions has to check itself whether the received batadv_hard_iface has a refcount > 0 before it can increase the reference counter and use it in other objects. This can easily lead to problems because it is not easily visible where all callers of a function got the batadv_hard_iface object from and whether they already hold a valid reference.

2016-02-29batman-adv: keep track of when unicast packets are sentAntonio Quartulli
To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour. For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced: 1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour; 2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is implemented. This function will simply update the member describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the real sending routine. Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast sending now has to use the new wrapper.

2016-02-23batman-adv: Rename batadv_neigh_node *_free_ref function to *_putSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv source code is the only place in the kernel which uses the *_free_ref naming scheme for the *_put functions. Changing it to *_put makes it more consistent and makes it easier to understand the connection to the *_get functions.
