2017-10-17batman-adv: Avoid spurious warnings from bat_v neigh_cmp implementationSven Eckelmann
The neighbor compare API implementation for B.A.T.M.A.N. V checks whether the neigh_ifinfo for this neighbor on a specific interface exists. A warning is printed when it isn't found. But it is not called inside a lock which would prevent that this information is lost right before batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get. It must therefore be expected that batadv_v_neigh_(cmp|is_sob) might not be able to get the requested neigh_ifinfo. A WARN_ON for such a situation seems not to be appropriate because this will only flood the kernel logs. The warnings must therefore be removed.

2017-07-31batman-adv: fix TT sync flag inconsistenciesLinus Lüssing
This patch fixes an issue in the translation table code potentially leading to a TT Request + Response storm. The issue may occur for nodes involving BLA and an inconsistent configuration of the batman-adv AP isolation feature. However, since the new multicast optimizations, a single, malformed packet may lead to a mesh-wide, persistent Denial-of-Service, too. The issue occurs because nodes are currently OR-ing the TT sync flags of all originators announcing a specific MAC address via the translation table. When an intermediate node now receives a TT Request and wants to answer this on behalf of the destination node, then this intermediate node now responds with an altered flag field and broken CRC. The next OGM of the real destination will lead to a CRC mismatch and triggering a TT Request and Response again. Furthermore, the OR-ing is currently never undone as long as at least one originator announcing the according MAC address remains, leading to the potential persistency of this issue. This patch fixes this issue by storing the flags used in the CRC calculation on a a per TT orig entry basis to be able to respond with the correct, original flags in an intermediate TT Response for one thing. And to be able to correctly unset sync flags once all nodes announcing a sync flag vanish for another.

2017-06-16networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointersJohannes Berg
It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three users overall. A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c.

2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-05-23batman-adv: decrease maximum fragment sizeMatthias Schiffer
With this patch the maximum fragment size is reduced from 1400 to 1280 bytes. Fragmentation v2 correctly uses the smaller of 1400 and the interface MTU, thus generally supporting interfaces with an MTU < 1400 bytes, too. However, currently "Fragmentation v2" does not support re-fragmentation. Which means that once a packet is split into two packets of 1400 + x bytes for instance and the next hop provides an interface with an even smaller MTU of 1280 bytes, then the larger fragment is lost. A maximum fragment size of 1280 bytes is a safer option as this is the minimum MTU required by IPv6, making interfaces with an MTU < 1280 rather exotic. Regarding performance, this should have no negative impact on unicast traffic: Having some more bytes in the smaller and some less in the larger does not change the sum of both fragments. Concerning TT, choosing 1280 bytes fragments might result in more TT messages than necessary when a large network is bridged into batman-adv. However, the TT overhead in general is marginal due to its reactive nature, therefore such a performance impact on TT should not be noticeable for a user.

2017-03-22batman-adv: handle race condition for claims between gatewaysAndreas Pape
Consider the following situation which has been found in a test setup: Gateway B has claimed client C and gateway A has the same backbone network as B. C sends a broad- or multicast to B and directly after this packet decides to send another packet to A due to a better TQ value. B will forward the broad-/multicast into the backbone as it is the responsible gw and after that A will claim C as it has been chosen by C as the best gateway. If it now happens that A claims C before it has received the broad-/multicast forwarded by B (due to backbone topology or due to some delay in B when forwarding the packet) we get a critical situation: in the current code A will immediately unclaim C when receiving the multicast due to the roaming client scenario although the position of C has not changed in the mesh. If this happens the multi-/broadcast forwarded by B will be sent back into the mesh by A and we have looping packets until one of the gateways claims C again. In order to prevent this, unclaiming of a client due to the roaming client scenario is only done after a certain time is expired after the last claim of the client. 100 ms are used here, which should be slow enough for big backbones and slow gateways but fast enough not to break the roaming client use case.

If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone an address resolution via the DHT of DAT is started. The gateway can send several ARP requests to different DHT nodes and therefore can get several replies. This patch assures that not all of the possible ARP replies are returned to the backbone by checking the local DAT cache of the gateway. If there is an entry in the local cache the gateway has already learned the requested address and there is no need to forward the additional reply to the backbone. Furthermore it is checked if this gateway has claimed the source of the ARP reply and only forwards it to the backbone if it has claimed the source or if there is no claim at all.

2017-03-22batman-adv: prevent multiple ARP replies sent by gateways if dat enabledAndreas Pape
If dat is enabled it must be made sure that only the backbone gw which has claimed the remote destination for the ARP request answers the ARP request directly if the MAC address is known due to the local dat table. This prevents multiple ARP replies in a common backbone if more than one gateway already knows the remote mac searched for in the ARP request.

2017-03-17batman-adv: Omit unnecessary memset of netdev private dataTobias Klauser
The memory for netdev_priv is allocated using kzalloc in alloc_netdev (or alloc_netdev_mq respectively) so there is no need to set it to 0 again.

2017-03-17batman-adv: Use __func__ to add function names to messagesSven Eckelmann
The name of the function might change in which these messages are printed. It is therefore better to let the compiler handle the insertion of the correct function name. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
