* batman-adv: replace strnicmp with strncasecmpRasmus Villemoes2014-10-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

* batman-adv: Fix parameter order of hlist_add_behindSven Eckelmann2014-08-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1d023284c31a4e40a94d5bbcb7dbb7a35ee0bcbc ("list: fix order of arguments for hlist_add_after(_rcu)") was incorrectly rebased on top of d9124268d84a836f14a6ead54ff9d8eee4c43be5 ("batman-adv: Fix out-of-order fragmentation support"). The parameter order change of the rebased patch was not re-applied as expected. This causes a memory leak and can cause crashes when out-of-order packets are received. hlist_add_behind will try to access the uninitalized list pointers of frag_entry_new to find the previous/next entry and may modify/read random memory locations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All other add functions for lists have the new item as first argument and the position where it is added as second argument. This was changed for no good reason in this function and makes using it unnecessary confusing. The name was changed to hlist_add_behind() to cause unconverted code to generate a compile error instead of using the wrong parameter order.

| * batman-adv: Fix out-of-order fragmentation supportSven Eckelmann2014-08-051-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | batadv_frag_insert_packet was unable to handle out-of-order packets because it dropped them directly. This is caused by the way the fragmentation lists is checked for the correct place to insert a fragmentation entry. The fragmentation code keeps the fragments in lists. The fragmentation entries are kept in descending order of sequence number. The list is traversed and each entry is compared with the new fragment. If the current entry has a smaller sequence number than the new fragment then the new one has to be inserted before the current entry. This ensures that the list is still in descending order. An out-of-order packet with a smaller sequence number than all entries in the list still has to be added to the end of the list. The used hlist has no information about the last entry in the list inside hlist_head and thus the last entry has to be calculated differently. Currently the code assumes that the iterator variable of hlist_for_each_entry can be used for this purpose after the hlist_for_each_entry finished. This is obviously wrong because the iterator variable is always NULL when the list was completely traversed. Instead the information about the last entry has to be stored in a different variable. This problem was introduced in 610bfc6bc99bc83680d190ebc69359a05fc7f605 ("batman-adv: Receive fragmented packets and merge").

* | batman-adv: increase default hop penaltySimon Wunderlich2014-08-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi penalty). After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well. We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all. This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty).

| * batman-adv: fix TT VLAN inconsistency on VLAN re-addAntonio Quartulli2014-07-213-14/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a VLAN interface (on top of batX) is removed and re-added within a short timeframe TT does not have enough time to properly cleanup. This creates an internal TT state mismatch as the newly created softif_vlan will be initialized from scratch with a TT client count of zero (even if TT entries for this VLAN still exist). The resulting TT messages are bogus due to the counter / tt client listing mismatch, thus creating inconsistencies on every node in the network To fix this issue destroy_vlan() has to not free the VLAN object immediately but it has to be kept alive until all the TT entries for this VLAN have been removed. destroy_vlan() still removes the sysfs folder so that the user has the feeling that everything went fine. If the same VLAN is re-added before the old object is free'd, then the latter is resurrected and re-used. Implement such behaviour by increasing the reference counter of a softif_vlan object every time a new local TT entry for such VLAN is created and remove the object from the list only when all the TT entries have been destroyed.

* batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flagLinus Lüssing2014-03-226-3/+198
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too. Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise: MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers: ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------- {Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener} --------------- \ ^ ------- | br0 | < ??? ------- \ _-~---~_ _-~/ ~-_ ~ batman-adv \-----{Sender} \~_ cloud ~/ -~~__-__-~_/ I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier} -> br0 cannot detect the {Listener} => Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers. ----------------------------------------------------------- Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers, because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners. Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

* batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast supportLinus Lüssing2014-03-226-8/+156
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
