* batman-adv: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimerAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in its documentation. In this way it is easier to update it in case of future changes. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
* batman-adv: make the backbone gw check VLAN specificAntonio Quartulli2013-10-191-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backbone gw check has to be VLAN specific so that code using it can specify VID where the check has to be done. In the TT code, the check has been moved into the tt_global_add() function so that it can be performed on a per-entry basis instead of ignoring all the TT data received from another backbone node. Only TT global entries belonging to the VLAN where the backbone node is connected to are skipped. All the other spots where the TT code was checking whether a node is a backbone have been removed. Moreover, batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw_orig() now returns bool since it used to return only 1 or 0.

* batman-adv: change VID semantic in the BLA codeAntonio Quartulli2013-05-291-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which will be used batman-adv wide. In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int" and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Acked-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de>

* batman-adv: Fix broadcast duplist for fragmentationSimon Wunderlich2012-11-211-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * batman-adv: check incoming packet type for blaSimon Wunderlich2012-07-061-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the gateway functionality is used, some broadcast packets (DHCP requests) may be transmitted as unicast packets. As the bridge loop avoidance code now only considers the payload Ethernet destination, it may drop the DHCP request for clients which are claimed by other backbone gateways, because it falsely infers from the broadcast address that the right backbone gateway should havehandled the broadcast. Fix this by checking and delegating the batman-adv packet type used for transmission.

* | batman-adv: Prefix bridge_loop_avoidance non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann2012-06-201-32/+35
|/ | | | | | | | | | | batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem. Reported-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

* batman-adv: add broadcast duplicate checkSimon Wunderlich2012-04-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

* batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich2012-04-111-0/+37
This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.
