* batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packetsLinus Lüssing2014-03-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore, the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce unnecessary overhead: If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming from the upstream of this node... * ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the translation table, * ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested multicast listeners * ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

* batman-adv: add isolation_mark sysfs attributeAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb. This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter policies. This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask". Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while $mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.

* batman-adv: rename gw_deselect() to gw_reselect()Antonio Quartulli2014-01-081-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function batadv_gw_deselect() is actually not deselecting anything. It is just informing the GW code to perform a re-election procedure when possible. The current gateway is not being touched at all and therefore the name of this function is rather misleading. Rename it to batadv_gw_reselect() to batadv_gw_reselect() to make its behaviour easier to grasp.

* batman-adv: deselect current GW on client mode switch offAntonio Quartulli2014-01-081-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When switching from gw_mode client to either off or server the current selected gateway has to be deselected. In this way when client mode is enabled again a gateway re-election is forced and a GW_ADD event is consequently sent. The current behaviour instead is to keep the current gateway leading to no GW_ADD event when gw_mode client is selected for a second time Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
* 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 AP isolation attribute VLAN specificAntonio Quartulli2013-10-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | AP isolation has to be enabled on one VLAN interface only. This patch moves the AP isolation attribute to the per-vlan interface attribute set, enabling it to have a different value depending on the selected vlan.

* batman-adv: add sysfs framework for VLANAntonio Quartulli2013-10-191-0/+173
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each VLAN can now have its own set of attributes which are exported through a new subfolder in the sysfs tree. Each VLAN created on top of a soft_iface will have its own subfolder. The subfolder is named "vlan%VID" and it is created inside the "mesh" sysfs folder belonging to batman-adv. Attributes corresponding to the untagged LAN are stored in the root sysfs folder as before. This patch also creates all the needed macros and data structures to easily handle new VLAN spacific attributes.

Now the download & upload bandwidth information is sent as-is. No userspace change is necessary since the sysfs API always allowed to specify a bandwidth.

* batman-adv: wait for rtnl in batadv_store_mesh_iface instead of failing if ↵Matthias Schiffer2013-06-101-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it is taken The rtnl_lock in batadv_store_mesh_iface has been converted to a rtnl_trylock some time ago to avoid a possible deadlock between rtnl and s_active on removal of the sysfs nodes. The behaviour introduced by that was quite confusing as it could lead to the sysfs store to fail, making batman-adv setup scripts unreliable. As recently the sysfs removal was postponed to a worker not running with the rtnl taken, the deadlock can't occur any more and it is safe to change the trylock back to a lock to make the sysfs store reliable again.

* batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removedSven Eckelmann2013-03-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and removed when no slave device exists anymore. This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

* batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure codeMartin Hundebøll2013-03-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

* batman-adv: Remove bat_ prefix from bat_{debugfs, sysfs}.{c, h}Sven Eckelmann2012-07-011-0/+787
The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm. The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets renamed.
