2012-11-30batman-adv: use ETH_P_BATMANAntonio Quartulli4-9/+11
The ETH_P_BATMAN ethertype is now defined kernel-wide. Use it instead of the private BATADV_ETH_P_BATMAN define. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2012-11-21batman-adv: Use packing of 2 for all headers before an ethernet headerSven Eckelmann1-1/+15
All packet headers in front of an ethernet header have to be completely divisible by 2 but not by 4 to make the payload after the ethernet header again 4 bytes boundary aligned. A packing of 2 is necessary to avoid extra padding at the end of the struct caused by a structure member which is larger than two bytes. Otherwise the structure would not fulfill the previously mentioned rule to avoid the misalignment of the payload after the ethernet header. It may also lead to leakage of information when the padding it not initialized before sending.

2012-11-21batman-adv: Fix broadcast duplist for fragmentationSimon Wunderlich4-23/+11
If the skb is fragmented, the checksum must be computed on the individual fragments, just using skb->data may fail on fragmented data. Instead of doing linearizing the packet, use the new batadv_crc32 to do that more efficiently- it should not hurt replacing the old crc16 by the new crc32.

2012-11-21batman-adv: Add wrapper to look up neighbor and send skbMartin Hundebøll6-107/+74
By adding batadv_send_skb_to_orig() in send.c, we can remove duplicate code that looks up the next hop and then calls batadv_send_skb_packet(). Furthermore, this prepares the upcoming new implementation of fragmentation, which requires the next hop to route packets. Please note that this doesn't entirely remove the next-hop lookup in routing.c and unicast.c, since it is used by the current fragmentation code. Also note that the next-hop info is removed from debug messages in translation-table.c, since it is looked up elsewhere.

The transtable_global debug file can show multiple entries for a single client when multiple gateways exist.

2012-11-16batman-adv: process broadcast packets in BLA earlierAntonio Quartulli1-6/+6
The logic in the BLA mechanism may decide to drop broadcast packets because the node may still be in the setup phase. For this reason, further broadcast processing like the early client detection mechanism must be done only after the BLA check. This patches moves the invocation to BLA before any other broadcast processing.

2012-11-16batman-adv: don't add TEMP clients belonging to other backbone nodesAntonio Quartulli1-0/+7
The "early client detection" mechanism must not add clients belonging to other backbone nodes. Such clients must be reached by directly using the LAN instead of the mesh.

Flags carried by a change_entry have to be always copied into the client entry as they may contain important attributes (e.g. TT_CLIENT_WIFI). For instance, a client added by means of the "early detection mechanism" has no flag set at the beginning, so they must be updated once the proper ADD event is received.

2012-11-14batman-adv: roaming handling mechanism redesignAntonio Quartulli1-39/+118
This patch allows clients to roam multiple times within the same originator-interval. To enable this new feature two key aspects that have been introduced: 1) packets are always directed to the node that was originally serving the roamed client which will then re-route the data to the correct destination at any point in time; 2) the client flags handling mechanism has been properly modified in order to allow multiple roamings withinin the same orig-int. Therefore flags are now set properly even in this scenario. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-11-14batman-adv: refactor tt_global_del_struct()Antonio Quartulli1-10/+9
batadv_tt_global_del_struct() function is not properly named. Having a more meaningful name which reflects the current behavior helps other developers to easily understand what it does.

2012-11-14batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flagAntonio Quartulli6-75/+156
tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen: instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not. With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

2012-11-14batman-adv: wait multiple periods before activating blaSimon Wunderlich3-1/+10
For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc) the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create loops in the startup time. Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed) before allowing broadcast traffic.

2012-11-14batman-adv: allow bla traffic only after first worker periodSimon Wunderlich1-1/+19
When adding a backbone gateway for the first time, it might not yet be known in the backbone, and therefore we should not forward broadcasts yet. This behaviour is the same as when sending a request to another backbone gw because of a CRC mismatch. The backbone gw will operate normal after the next periodic bla work.

2012-11-14batman-adv: send announcement when backbone gw is registeredSimon Wunderlich1-4/+10
To avoid loops in the startup phase until the first announcement is sent, send an announcement immediately as soon as a backbone gw is added.

The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by means of unicast_4addr packets.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messagesAntonio Quartulli6-2/+325
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast flooding mechanism. Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data structures and functions for ARP management.

2012-11-07batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet typeAntonio Quartulli6-26/+194
The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype will be enough.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Mark correctly aligned headers not as __packedSven Eckelmann1-6/+15
Headers which are already perfectly aligned and create a 4 byte boundary non-ethernet header payload can have the __packed attribute removed. The __packed attribute doesn't change the appeareance of the packet for these headers because no extra padding is necessary to align the data members.

2012-10-29batman-adv: pass the WIFI flag from the local to global entryAntonio Quartulli2-9/+28
in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag from the local to the global entry. This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later, once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

2012-10-29batman-adv: print packets re-routing on DBG_TT and ratelimit itAntonio Quartulli1-4/+4
To simplify TranslationTable debugging it is better to print the packet rerouting message on the DBG_TT log level. In this way a developer interested in packets rerouting doesn't need to filter it out of the whole ROUTES log. Moreover, since this message will appear for each rerouted message, it is now "ratelimited". Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-10-29batman-adv: properly store the roaming timeAntonio Quartulli1-0/+6
in case of a new global entry added because of roaming, the roam_at field must be properly initiated with the current time.

2012-10-29batman-adv: Set special lockdep classes to avoid lockdep warningSven Eckelmann1-0/+44
Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock. This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each transmission.
