The aggregation code duplicates code which already exists in the the bitops
and bitmap helper. By switching to the bitmap helpers, operating on larger
aggregations becomes possible without touching the different portions of
the code which read/modify direct_link_flags.

The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source
code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the
code calls is (mostly) softif.
The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI.
But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent
name again.
The bulk of the renaming was done using
sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \
-e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g'
and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

The ELP worker needs to calculate new metric values for all neighbors
"reachable" over an interface. Some of the used metric sources require
locks which might need to sleep. This sleep is incompatible with the RCU
list iterator used for the recorded neighbors. The initial approach to work
around of this problem was to queue another work item per neighbor and then
run this in a new context.
Even when this solved the RCU vs might_sleep() conflict, it has a major
problems: Nothing was stopping the work item in case it is not needed
anymore - for example because one of the related interfaces was removed or
the batman-adv module was unloaded - resulting in potential invalid memory
accesses.
Directly canceling the metric worker also has various problems:
* cancel_work_sync for a to-be-deactivated interface is called with
rtnl_lock held. But the code in the ELP metric worker also tries to use
rtnl_lock() - which will never return in this case. This also means that
cancel_work_sync would never return because it is waiting for the worker
to finish.
* iterating over the neighbor list for the to-be-deactivated interface is
currently done using the RCU specific methods. Which means that it is
possible to miss items when iterating over it without the associated
spinlock - a behaviour which is acceptable for a periodic metric check
but not for a cleanup routine (which must "stop" all still running
workers)
The better approch is to get rid of the per interface neighbor metric
worker and handle everything in the interface worker. The original problems
are solved by:
* creating a list of neighbors which require new metric information inside
the RCU protected context, gathering the metric according to the new list
outside the RCU protected context
* only use rcu_trylock inside metric gathering code to avoid a deadlock
when the cancel_delayed_work_sync is called in the interface removal code
(which is called with the rtnl_lock held)

The tt.local_changes atomic is either written with tt.changes_list_lock
or close to it (see batadv_tt_local_event()). Thus the performance gain
using an atomic was limited (or because of atomic_read() impact even
negative). Using atomic also comes with the need to be wary of potential
negative tt.local_changes value.
Simplify the tt.local_changes usage by removing the atomic property and
modifying it only with tt.changes_list_lock held.

Implement the preparation of a batman-adv multicast packet and use this
under certain conditions.
For one thing this implements the capability to push a complete
batman-adv multicast packet header, including a tracker TVLV with all
originator destinations that have signaled interest in it, onto a given
ethernet frame with an IP multicast packet inside.
For another checks are implemented to determine if encapsulating a
multicast packet in this new batman-adv multicast packet type and using
it is feasible. Those checks are:
1) Have all nodes signaled that they are capable of handling the new
batman-adv multicast packet type?
2) Do all active hard interfaces of all nodes, including us, have an MTU
of at least 1280 bytes?
3) Does a complete multicast packet header with all its destination
addresses fit onto the given multicast packet / ethernet frame and
does not exceed 1280 bytes?
If all checks passed then the new batman-adv multicast packet type will
be used for transmission and distribution. Otherwise we fall back to one or
more batman-adv unicast packet transmissions, if possible. Or if not
possible we will fall back to classic flooding through a batman-adv
broadcast packet.

Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable
multicast packet type.
The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several
originator destination addresses within a TVLV. Routers on the way will
potentially split the batman-adv multicast packet and adjust its tracker
TVLV contents.
Routing decisions are still based on the selected BATMAN IV or BATMAN V
routing algorithm. So this new batman-adv multicast packet type retains
the same loop-free properties.
Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other
nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and
multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU
of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now
to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.

was only checked to figure out whether the limit 255 (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV) or

If the user set an MTU value, it usually means that there are special
requirements for the MTU. But if an interface gots activated, the MTU was
always recalculated and then the user set value was overwritten.
The only reason why this user set value has to be overwritten, is when the
MTU has to be decreased because batman-adv is not able to transfer packets
with the user specified size.

For that swap the OGM vs. unicast-tvlv packet boolean indicator to an
explicit unsigned integer packet type variable. And provide the skb
to a call to batadv_tvlv_containers_process(), as later the multicast
packet's TVLV handler will need to have access not only to the TVLV but
the full skb for forwarding. Forwarding will be invoked from the
multicast packet's TVLVs' contents later.

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

In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities
or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire
to consider one of them as a backup only.
Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are
configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them
together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve
an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty.
This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty
to simplify such setups.

Each slave interface of an B.A.T.M.A.N. IV virtual interface has an OGM
packet buffer which is initialized using data from netdevice notifier and
other rtnetlink related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave
interfaces of the batadv virtual interface and in this process also
modified (realloced) to integrate additional state information via TVLV

It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock
with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either
happen that half modified/freed data is sent out or functions modifying the
OGM buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

To be able to apply our group aware multicast optimizations to packets
with a scope greater than link-local we need to not only keep track of
multicast listeners but also multicast routers.
With this patch a node detects the presence of multicast routers on
its segment by checking if
/proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/conf/<bat0|br0(bat)>/mc_forwarding is set for one
thing. This option is enabled by multicast routing daemons and needed
for the kernel's multicast routing tables to receive and route packets.
For another thing if a bridge is configured on top of bat0 then the
presence of an IPv6 multicast router behind this bridge is currently
detected by checking for an IPv6 multicast "All Routers Address"
(ff02::2). This should later be replaced by querying the bridge, which
performs proper, RFC4286 compliant Multicast Router Discovery (our
simplified approach includes more hosts than necessary, most notably
not just multicast routers but also unicast ones and is not applicable
for IPv4).
If no multicast router is detected then this is signalized via the new
BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR4 and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR6
multicast tvlv flags.

The state of slave interfaces are handled differently depending on whether
the interface is up or not. All active interfaces (IFF_UP) will transmit
OGMs. But for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV, also non-active interfaces are scheduling
(low TTL) OGMs on active interfaces. The code which setups and schedules
the OGMs must therefore already be called when the interfaces gets added as
slave interface and the transmit function must then check whether it has to
send out the OGM or not on the specific slave interface.
But the commit f0d97253fb5f ("batman-adv: remove ogm_emit and ogm_schedule
API calls") moved the setup code from the enable function to the activate
function. The latter is called either when the added slave was already up
when batadv_hardif_enable_interface processed the new interface or when a
NETDEV_UP event was received for this slave interfac. As result, each
NETDEV_UP would schedule a new OGM worker for the interface and thus OGMs
would be send a lot more than expected.

It is not necessary to hold the mla_lock spinlock during the whole
multicast tt/tvlv worker callback. Just holding it during the checks and
updates of the bat_priv stored multicast flags and mla_list is enough.
Therefore this patch splits batadv_mcast_mla_tvlv_update() in two:
batadv_mcast_mla_flags_get() at the beginning of the worker to gather
and calculate the new multicast flags, which does not need any locking
as it neither reads from nor writes to bat_priv->mcast.
And batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update() at the end of the worker which
commits the newly calculated flags and lists to bat_priv->mcast and
therefore needs the lock.

Syzbot has reported some issues with the locking assumptions made for
the multicast tt/tvlv worker: It was able to trigger the WARN_ON() in

While hard/not reproduceable for us so far it seems that the
delayed_work_pending() we use might not be quite safe from reordering.
Therefore this patch adds an explicit, new spinlock to protect the
update of the mla_list and flags in bat_priv and then removes the
WARN_ON(delayed_work_pending()).

With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations
(current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as
individual unicast transmissions.
Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking.
In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh
network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of
broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh
network.
The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly
introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded
distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding.
The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial
multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide
basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the
kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to
interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that
either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either
receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.
Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a
mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide
whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.
The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid
changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation
sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring
originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted
the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface
specific, a resizable array was used in each originator.
This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes
(for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could
cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough
continuous memory is available to allocate the array.
There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo"
which can be used to store this information.

some bytes of memory.

Using the bool type for structure member is considered inappropriate [1]
for the kernel. Its size is not well defined (but usually 1 byte but maybe
also 4 byte).

Instead of disabling multicast optimizations mesh-wide once a node with
no multicast optimizations capabilities joins the mesh, do the
following:
Just insert such nodes into the WANT_ALL_IPV4/IPV6 lists. This is
sufficient to avoid multicast packet loss to such unsupportive nodes.

All of the conflicts were cases of overlapping changes.
In net/core/devlink.c, we have to make care that the
resouce size_params have become a struct member rather
than a pointer to such an object.

batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface.
It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the
correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps.
The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next
interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the
architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave
interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave
interfaces).
This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus
an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char
type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with
a negative size.
The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly
smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code.
Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be
(unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net
core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of
active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows.

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.
Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require
access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet
packets.
