2016-10-30batman-adv: Use own timer for multicast TT and TVLV updatesLinus Lüssing1-0/+1
Instead of latching onto the OGM period, this patch introduces a worker dedicated to multicast TT and TVLV updates. The reasoning is, that upon roaming especially the translation table should be updated timely to minimize connectivity issues. With BATMAN V, the idea is to greatly increase the OGM interval to reduce overhead. Unfortunately, right now this could lead to a bad user experience if multicast traffic is involved. Therefore this patch introduces a fixed 500ms update interval for multicast TT entries and the multicast TVLV.

2016-07-04batman-adv: throughput meter implementationAntonio Quartulli1-0/+8
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.

2016-06-30batman-adv: move bat_algo functions into a separate fileSven Eckelmann1-4/+0
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.

2016-05-10batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loopsSimon Wunderlich1-0/+4
There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that: A...(mesh1)...B | | (LAN1) (LAN2) | | C...(mesh2)...D Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily, these kind of loops can be detected. This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others handle that problem.

2016-02-29batman-adv: ELP - send unicast ELP packets for throughput samplingAntonio Quartulli1-0/+3
In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric will become obsolete. With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links. These sampling packets will fill an entire frame, so that the measurement is as reliable as possible Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
2016-02-29batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughputAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this case is used to iterate over all the neighbours). Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g. 100/10Mbps). The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent, this way it is possible to timely react to a metric variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour disconnection.

2016-02-29batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructureAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
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.

If networks take a long time to come up, e.g. due to lossy links, then the bridge loop avoidance wait time to suppress broadcasts may not wait long enough and detect a backbone before the mesh is brought up.

2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann1-16/+13
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used. This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the knowledge about the right order of local includes. Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly. Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on config settings and may not be stable in the future. The order for include blocks are: * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file) * global linux headers * required local headers * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h. This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must therefore build together with userspace applications. The header linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have to include main.h to work correctly.

Instead the optimized version shared between the whole kernel should be used to reduce code duplication and use better optimized code.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast supportLinus Lüssing1-0/+1
With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes IPv6 multicast packet, too. The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6 link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2 and section 3). Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to break compatibility later. Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will always receive these ranges.
