2013-10-19batman-adv: refine API calls for unicast transmissions of SKBsLinus Lüssing
With this patch the functions batadv_send_skb_unicast() and batadv_send_skb_unicast_4addr() are further refined into batadv_send_skb_via_tt(), batadv_send_skb_via_tt_4addr() and batadv_send_skb_via_gw(). This way we avoid any "guessing" about where to send a packet in the unicast forwarding methods and let the callers decide. This is going to be useful for the upcoming multicast related patches in particular. Further, the return values were polished a little to use the more appropriate NET_XMIT_* defines.

2013-10-12batman-adv: use htons when possibleAntonio Quartulli
When comparing a network ordered value with a constant, it is better to convert the constant at compile time by means of htons() instead of converting the value at runtime using ntohs(). This refactoring may slightly improve the code performance. Moreover substitute __constant_htons() with htons() since the latter increase readability and it is smart enough to be as efficient as the former Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Acked-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de>
2013-10-12batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtuMartin Hundebøll

2013-10-12batman-adv: Remove old fragmentation codeMartin Hundebøll
Remove the existing fragmentation code before adding the new version and delete unicast.{h,c}. batadv_unicast_send_skb() is moved to send.c and renamed to batadv_send_skb_unicast(). fragmentation entry in sysfs (bat_priv->fragmentation) is kept for use in the new fragmentation code.

2013-08-28batman-adv: set skb priority according to contentSimon Wunderlich
The skb priority field may help the wireless driver to choose the right queue (e.g. WMM queues). This should be set in batman-adv, as this information is only available here. This patch adds support for IPv4/IPv6 DS fields and VLAN PCP. Note that only VLAN PCP is used if a VLAN header is present. Also initially set TC_PRIO_CONTROL only for self-generated packets, and keep the priority set by higher layers.

2013-05-29batman-adv: Move call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() from routing.c to send.cMartin Hundebøll
The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is looked up. To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from boolean to int.

2013-05-29batman-adv: send each broadcast only once on non-wireless interfacesMatthias Schiffer
While it makes sense to send each broadcast thrice on 802.11 (WLAN) interfaces as broadcasts are often unreliable on these, there is no reason to do so on other interface types. The increased the overhead can be harmful on low-bandwidth links like VPN connections over slow internet lines, therefore it is better to reduce the number of broadcast packets sent on non-wireless links to one.

2013-03-13batman-adv: network coding - save overheard and tx packets for decodingMartin Hundebøll
To be able to decode a network coded packet, a node must already know one of the two coded packets. This is done by buffering skbs before transmission and buffering packets sniffed with promiscuous mode from other hosts. Packets are kept in a buffer similar to the one with forward-skbs: A hash table, where each entry, which corresponds to a src-dst pair, has a linked list packets.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2012-11-21batman-adv: Add wrapper to look up neighbor and send skbMartin Hundebøll
By adding batadv_send_skb_to_orig() in send.c, we can remove duplicate code that looks up the next hop and then calls batadv_send_skb_packet(). Furthermore, this prepares the upcoming new implementation of fragmentation, which requires the next hop to route packets. Please note that this doesn't entirely remove the next-hop lookup in routing.c and unicast.c, since it is used by the current fragmentation code. Also note that the next-hop info is removed from debug messages in translation-table.c, since it is looked up elsewhere.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messagesAntonio Quartulli
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast flooding mechanism. Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data structures and functions for ARP management.
