batman-adv: Disable CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS by default

2019-12-31T23:57:07+00:00

The sysfs support in batman-adv is deprecated since a while and will be removed completely next year. All tools which were known to the batman-adv development team are supporting the batman-adv netlink interface since a while. Thus disabling CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS by default should not cause problems on most systems. It is still possible to enable it in case it is still required in a specific setup.

treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro

2019-12-09T18:36:44+00:00

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused definition of FIELD_SIZEOF(). This patch is generated using following script: EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h" git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file; do if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then continue fi sed -i -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file; done Signed-off-by: Pankaj Bharadiya Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190924105839.110713-3-pankaj.laxminarayan.bharadiya@intel.com Co-developed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: David Miller # for net

batman-adv: Annotate bitwise integer pointer casts

2019-12-08T23:30:49+00:00

The sparse commit 6002ded74587 ("add a flag to warn on casts to/from bitwise pointers") introduced a check for non-direct casts from/to restricted datatypes (when -Wbitwise-pointer is enabled). This triggered various warnings in batman-adv when some (already big endian) buffer content was casted to/from the corresponding big endian integer data types. But these were correct and can therefore be marked with __force to signalize sparse an intended cast from/to a bitwise type. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: ELP - use wifi tx bitrate as fallback throughput

2019-12-08T23:30:46+00:00

Some wifi drivers (e.g. ath10k) provide per-station rx/tx values but no estimated throughput. Setting a better estimate than the default 1 MBit makes these devices work well with B.A.T.M.A.N. V.

batman-adv: Fix DAT candidate selection on little endian systems

2019-11-28T11:48:59+00:00

The distributed arp table is using a DHT to store and retrieve MAC address information for an IP address. This is done using unicast messages to selected peers. The potential peers are looked up using the IP address and the VID. While the IP address is always stored in big endian byte order, this is not the case of the VID. It can (depending on the host system) either be big endian or little endian. The host must therefore always convert it to big endian to ensure that all devices calculate the same peers for the same lookup data.
