2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann1-0/+3
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used. This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the knowledge about the right order of local includes. Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly. Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on config settings and may not be stable in the future. The order for include blocks are: * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file) * global linux headers * required local headers * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h. This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must therefore build together with userspace applications. The header linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have to include main.h to work correctly.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flagLinus Lüssing1-0/+4
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.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast supportLinus Lüssing1-0/+9
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.

2014-01-08batman-adv: mark a local client as isolated when neededAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
A client sending packets which mark matches the value configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag. The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the mask are compared with those in the mark value. If the configured mask is equal to 0 no operation is performed.

struct batadv_icmp_header currently has a size of 17, which will be padded to 20 on some architectures. Fix this by unrolling the header into the parent structures.

2013-10-23batman-adv: generalize batman-adv icmp packet handlingSimon Wunderlich1-0/+2
Instead of handling icmp packets only up to length of icmp_packet_rr, the code should handle any icmp length size. Therefore the length truncating is moved to when the packet is actually sent to userspace (this does not support lengths longer than icmp_packet_rr yet). Longer packets are forwarded without truncating. This patch also cleans up some parts where the icmp header struct could be used instead of other icmp_packet(_rr) structs to make the code more readable.

2013-10-23batman-adv: include the sync-flags when compute the global/local table CRCAntonio Quartulli1-2/+3
Flags covered by TT_SYNC_MASK are kept in sync among the nodes in the network and therefore they have to be considered while computing the global/local table CRC. In this way a generic originator is able to understand if its table contains the correct flags or not. Bits from 4 to 7 in the TT flags fields are now reserved for "synchronized" flags only. This allows future developers to add more flags of this type without breaking compatibility. It's important to note that not all the remote TT flags are synchronised. This comes from the fact that some flags are used to inject an information once only.

2013-10-19batman-adv: make the TT CRC logic VLAN specificAntonio Quartulli1-3/+15
This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to store only some of the global entries advertised by another node. In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC anymore. This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN. In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and still check the table correctness. With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all the VLANs that it is wired to. The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common value for the entire table anymore.

2013-10-12batman-adv: create common header for ICMP packetsAntonio Quartulli1-10/+28

Extract the common fields and put them into a separate struct so that future ICMP packets can be easily added without bloating the packet definition. However, keep the seqno field outside of the newly created common header because future ICMP types may require a bigger sequence number space.

2013-10-09batman-adv: tvlv - basic infrastructureMarek Lindner1-0/+41
The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added right from the start to allow differentiating between feature variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue). This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure: * register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM (on primary interfaces only) * register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer * unicast tvlv send / receive API calls Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Spyros Gasteratos <morfeas3000@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>

2012-08-23batman-adv: detect not yet announced clientsAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its joining event will be spread over the mesh network. This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs) the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts, etc. This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM is not received within a fixed amount of time. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
