2012-11-16batman-adv: process broadcast packets in BLA earlierAntonio Quartulli
The logic in the BLA mechanism may decide to drop broadcast packets because the node may still be in the setup phase. For this reason, further broadcast processing like the early client detection mechanism must be done only after the BLA check. This patches moves the invocation to BLA before any other broadcast processing. This was introduced 30cfd02b60e1cb16f5effb0a01f826c5bb7e4c59 ("batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients") Reported-by: Glen Page <glen.page@thet.net> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
2012-11-16batman-adv: don't add TEMP clients belonging to other backbone nodesAntonio Quartulli
The "early client detection" mechanism must not add clients belonging to other backbone nodes. Such clients must be reached by directly using the LAN instead of the mesh.

2012-11-16batman-adv: fix tt_global_entries flags updateAntonio Quartulli
Flags carried by a change_entry have to be always copied into the client entry as they may contain important attributes (e.g. TT_CLIENT_WIFI). For instance, a client added by means of the "early detection mechanism" has no flag set at the beginning, so they must be updated once the proper ADD event is received.

2012-11-14batman-adv: roaming handling mechanism redesignAntonio Quartulli
This patch allows clients to roam multiple times within the same originator-interval. To enable this new feature two key aspects that have been introduced: 1) packets are always directed to the node that was originally serving the roamed client which will then re-route the data to the correct destination at any point in time; 2) the client flags handling mechanism has been properly modified in order to allow multiple roamings withinin the same orig-int. Therefore flags are now set properly even in this scenario. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-11-14batman-adv: refactor tt_global_del_struct()Antonio Quartulli
batadv_tt_global_del_struct() function is not properly named. Having a more meaningful name which reflects the current behavior helps other developers to easily understand what it does. A parameter has also been renamed in order to let the function header better fit the 80-chars line-width Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2012-11-14batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flagAntonio Quartulli
tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen: instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not. With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

2012-11-14batman-adv: wait multiple periods before activating blaSimon Wunderlich
For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc) the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create loops in the startup time. Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed) before allowing broadcast traffic.

2012-11-14batman-adv: allow bla traffic only after first worker periodSimon Wunderlich
When adding a backbone gateway for the first time, it might not yet be known in the backbone, and therefore we should not forward broadcasts yet. This behaviour is the same as when sending a request to another backbone gw because of a CRC mismatch. The backbone gw will operate normal after the next periodic bla work.

2012-11-14batman-adv: send announcement when backbone gw is registeredSimon Wunderlich
To avoid loops in the startup phase until the first announcement is sent, send an announcement immediately as soon as a backbone gw is added.

2012-11-07batman-adv: enable fast client detection using unicast_4addr packetsAntonio Quartulli
The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by means of unicast_4addr packets. The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add compile optionAntonio Quartulli

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.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - implement local storageAntonio Quartulli

2012-11-07batman-adv: add UNICAST_4ADDR packet typeAntonio Quartulli
The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype will be enough.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Mark correctly aligned headers not as __packedSven Eckelmann
Headers which are already perfectly aligned and create a 4 byte boundary non-ethernet header payload can have the __packed attribute removed. The __packed attribute doesn't change the appeareance of the packet for these headers because no extra padding is necessary to align the data members.

2012-10-29batman-adv: pass the WIFI flag from the local to global entryAntonio Quartulli
in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag from the local to the global entry. This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later, once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

2012-10-29batman-adv: check for more space before accessing the skbAntonio Quartulli

2012-10-29batman-adv: print packets re-routing on DBG_TT and ratelimit itAntonio Quartulli
To simplify TranslationTable debugging it is better to print the packet rerouting message on the DBG_TT log level. In this way a developer interested in packets rerouting doesn't need to filter it out of the whole ROUTES log. Moreover, since this message will appear for each rerouted message, it is now "ratelimited". Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-10-29batman-adv: properly store the roaming timeAntonio Quartulli
in case of a new global entry added because of roaming, the roam_at field must be properly initiated with the current time. This value will be later use to purge this entry out on time out (if nobody claims it). Instead roam_at field is now set to zero in this situation leading to an immediate purging of the related entry. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

2012-10-29batman-adv: Set special lockdep classes to avoid lockdep warningSven Eckelmann
Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock. This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each transmission.

2012-09-23batman-adv: Fix symmetry check / route flapping in multi interface setupsLinus Lüssing
If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one. However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected router. This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups.
