batctl uses /dev/batman-adv to send special batman-adv icmp packets to
other nodes in the mesh. To get it working with multiple batX devices we
must ensure that every mesh device can have their own socket which is
used to inject those packets in exactly one mesh.
The current implementation still doesn't allow to use complete separated
meshes as we rely on structures which are not part of the private data
of a batman device.

A new buffer for a packet is created when a icmp packet is received.
This happens in a context with disabled irq. Thus we are not allowed to
sleep or call function which might sleep. kmalloc must be called with
GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL to ensure that it does not sleep.

Instead of having a single /proc file "interfaces" in which you have
to echo the wanted interface batman-adv will create a subfolder in each
suitable /sys/class/net folder. This subfolder contains files for the
interface specific settings. For example, mesh_iface to add/remove an
interface from a virtual mesh network (at the moment only bat0 is
supported).
Example:
echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface
to deactivate:
echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface
Interfaces which are not compatible with batman-adv won't contain the
batman-adv folder, therefore can't be activated. Not supported are:
loopback, non-ethernet, non-ARP and virtual mesh network interfaces

The code here is testing to see if "i" is passed the end of the array.
The original code works probably, but it's not the cleanest way.
Andrew Lunn suggested that I also remove all the hard coded references
to 256 so I have done that as well.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

As in other parts of batman-adv, we should not lock while sending a packet but
keep the lock held for as short as possible. Additionally, we should check
whether the interface is active, otherwise batman_if->net_dev might not be
available ...

printk() since kernel version 2.6.29 has supported printing MAC
addresses directly, as an extension to the %p processing. This patch
makes use of this for printk() and bat_dbg(). This will remove the
overhead of using addr_to_string() which is normally never actually
output.
Fixed a typo found by Gus Wirth.

This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.
Some consequences and comments:
* we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
anymore. This should boost performance.
* packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
* no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
packets
* this might introduce new race conditions.
* aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
converted.
* all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
of these locks might be reverted later.
* skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead
performance differences:
* we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
* bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
* ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms
I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
networks may be wired or wireless. See

tools.
This is the first submission for inclusion in staging.
