The only way to automatically drop batadv mesh interfaces when all soft
interfaces were removed was dropped with the sysfs support. It is no longer
needed to have them handled by kernel anymore.

If a batman-adv packets has to be fragmented, then the original batman-adv
packet header is not stripped away. Instead, only a new header is added in
front of the packet after it was split.
This size must be considered to avoid cost intensive reallocations during
the transmission through the various device layers.

The function batadv_hardif_remove_interfaces was meant to remove all
interfaces which are currently in the list of known (compatible) hardifs
during module unload. But the function unregister_netdevice_notifier is
called in batadv_exit before batadv_hardif_remove_interfaces. This will
trigger NETDEV_UNREGISTER events for all available interfaces and in this
process remove all interfaces from batadv_hardif_list. And
batadv_hardif_remove_interfaces only operated on this (empty) list.

In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities
or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire
to consider one of them as a backup only.
Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are
configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them
together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve
an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty.
This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty
to simplify such setups.

Each slave interface of an B.A.T.M.A.N. IV virtual interface has an OGM
packet buffer which is initialized using data from netdevice notifier and
other rtnetlink related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave
interfaces of the batadv virtual interface and in this process also
modified (realloced) to integrate additional state information via TVLV
containers.
It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock
with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either
happen that half modified/freed data is sent out or functions modifying the
OGM buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
Because we don't care if debugfs works or not, this trickles back a bit
so we can clean things up by making some functions return void instead
of an error value that is never going to fail.

The state of slave interfaces are handled differently depending on whether
the interface is up or not. All active interfaces (IFF_UP) will transmit
OGMs. But for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV, also non-active interfaces are scheduling
(low TTL) OGMs on active interfaces. The code which setups and schedules
the OGMs must therefore already be called when the interfaces gets added as
slave interface and the transmit function must then check whether it has to
send out the OGM or not on the specific slave interface.
But the commit f0d97253fb5f ("batman-adv: remove ogm_emit and ogm_schedule
API calls") moved the setup code from the enable function to the activate
function. The latter is called either when the added slave was already up
when batadv_hardif_enable_interface processed the new interface or when a
NETDEV_UP event was received for this slave interfac. As result, each
NETDEV_UP would schedule a new OGM worker for the interface and thus OGMs
would be send a lot more than expected.

It is not allowed to use WARN* helpers on potential incorrect input from
the user or transient problems because systems configured as panic_on_warn
will reboot due to such a problem.
A NULL return value of __dev_get_by_index can be caused by various problems
which can either be related to the system configuration or problems
(incorrectly returned network namespaces) in other (virtual) net_device
drivers. batman-adv should not cause a (harmful) WARN in this situation and
instead only report it via a simple message.

The netlink dump functionality transfers a large number of entries from the
kernel to userspace. It is rather likely that the transfer has to
interrupted and later continued. During that time, it can happen that
either new entries are added or removed. The userspace could than either
receive some entries multiple times or miss entries.
Commit 670dc2833d14 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps") introduced a
mechanism to inform userspace about this problem. Userspace can then decide
whether it is necessary or not to retry dumping the information again.
The netlink dump functions have to be switched to exclusive locks to avoid
changes while the current message is prepared. And an external generation
sequence counter is introduced which tracks all modifications of the list.

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring
originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted
the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface
specific, a resizable array was used in each originator.
This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes
(for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could
cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough
continuous memory is available to allocate the array.
There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo"
which can be used to store this information.

batman-adv is creating special debugfs directories in the init
net_namespace for each created soft-interface (batadv net_device). But it
is possible to rename a net_device to a completely different name then the
original one.
It can therefore happen that a user registers a new batadv net_device with
the name "bat0". batman-adv is then also adding a new directory under
$debugfs/batman-adv/ with the name "wlan0".
The user then decides to rename this device to "bat1" and registers a
different batadv device with the name "bat0". batman-adv will then try to
create a directory with the name "bat0" under $debugfs/batman-adv/ again.
But there already exists one with this name under this path and thus this
fails. batman-adv will detect a problem and rollback the registering of
this device.
batman-adv must therefore take care of renaming the debugfs directories for
soft-interfaces whenever it detects such a net_device rename.

batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface.
It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the
correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps.
The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next
interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the
architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave
interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave
interfaces).
This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus
an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char
type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with
a negative size.
The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly
smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code.
Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be
(unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net
core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of
active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some
of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the
semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be

The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because
some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl
lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions

With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided:
* No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there
is no node behind it.
* Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an
interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this
broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back.
* Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on
an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this
broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back.
Goodies for BATMAN V:
("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!")
Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP
that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2
packets, too.
Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain
multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to
the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V.

Therefore avoid setting hard_iface->soft_iface to NULL when disabling a hard

batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: eth1

What happened here is, that there was still a forw_packet (here: a BATMAN IV
OGM) in the queue of eth3 with the forw_packet->if_incoming set to eth1 and the
forw_packet->if_outgoing set to eth3.
When eth3 is to be deactivated and removed, then this thread waits for the
forw_packet queued on eth3 to finish. Because eth1 was deactivated and removed
earlier and by that had forw_packet->if_incoming->soft_iface, set to NULL, the
splat when trying to send/flush the OGM on eth3 occures.

Switch-like virtual interfaces like bridge or openvswitch don't destroy
itself when all their attached netdevices dissappear. Instead they only
remove the link to the unregistered device and keep working until they get
removed manually.
This has the benefit that all configurations for this interfaces are kept
and daemons reacting to rtnl events can just add new slave interfaces
without going through the complete configuration of the switch-like
netdevice.
Handling unregister events of client devices similar in batman-adv allows
users to drop their current workaround of dummy netdevices attached to
batman-adv soft-interfaces.

It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.
