2012-11-21batman-adv: Fix broadcast duplist for fragmentationSimon Wunderlich1-1/+1
If the skb is fragmented, the checksum must be computed on the individual fragments, just using skb->data may fail on fragmented data. Instead of doing linearizing the packet, use the new batadv_crc32 to do that more efficiently- it should not hurt replacing the old crc16 by the new crc32.

2012-11-14batman-adv: substitute tt_poss_change with a per-tt_entry flagAntonio Quartulli1-8/+0
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 Wunderlich1-0/+1
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.

2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add compile optionAntonio Quartulli1-0/+10
This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the batman-adv binary or not. It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting module by cutting off any not needed feature. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>
2012-11-07batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - implement local storageAntonio Quartulli1-0/+23

Threads in the bottom half of batadv_bla_check_bcast_duplist() might otherwise for instance overwrite variables which other threads might be using/reading at the same time in the top half, potentially leading to messing up the bcast_duplist, possibly resulting in false bridge loop avoidance duplicate check decisions.

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>
2012-08-23batman-adv: Split batadv_priv in sub-structures for featuresSven Eckelmann1-46/+67
The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the member name. The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in the bat_priv main struct.

2012-06-18batman-adv: turn tt commit code into routing protocol agnostic APIMarek Lindner1-2/+1

2012-04-11batman-adv: add broadcast duplicate checkSimon Wunderlich1-0/+7

2012-04-11batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich1-0/+27
This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.

2011-11-20batman-adv: create a common substructure for tt_global/local_entryAntonio Quartulli1-7/+7
Several functions in the translation table management code assume that the tt_global_entry and tt_local_entry structures have the same initial fields such as 'addr' and 'hash_entry'. To improve the code readability and to avoid mistakes in later changes, a common substructure that substitute the shared fields has been introduced (struct tt_common_entry).
