2019-02-09batman-adv: Add throughput_override hardif genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation tries to estimate the link throughput of an interface to an originator using different automatic methods. It is still possible to overwrite it the link throughput for all reachable originators via this interface. The BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE attribute. The used unit is in 100 Kbit/s. If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to estimate the throughput by itself. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2019-02-09batman-adv: Add elp_interval hardif genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The ELP packets are transmitted every elp_interval milliseconds on an slave/hard-interface. This value can be changed using the configuration interface. The BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_ELP_INTERVAL attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add orig_interval mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The OGM packets are transmitted every orig_interval milliseconds. This value can be changed using the configuration interface. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_ORIG_INTERVAL attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add network_coding mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can use (in an homogeneous mesh) network coding, a mechanism that aims to increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple packets in one transmission. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_NETWORK_CODING_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add multicast forceflood mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can optimize the flooding of multicast packets based on the content of the global translation tables. To disable this behavior and use the broadcast-like flooding of the packets, forceflood has to be enabled. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_MULTICAST_FORCEFLOOD_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature (allowing multicast optimizations) and setting it to something else is enabling this feature (forcing simple flooding).

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add log_level mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
In contrast to other modules, batman-adv allows to set the debug message verbosity per mesh/soft-interface and not per module (via modparam). The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u32 (bitmask) BATADV_ATTR_LOG_LEVEL attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add hop_penalty mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The TQ (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV) and throughput values (B.A.T.M.A.N. V) are reduced when they are forwarded. One of the reductions is the penalty for traversing an additional hop. This hop_penalty (0-255) defines the percentage of reduction (0-100%). The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u8 BATADV_ATTR_HOP_PENALTY attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client. The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the gw_mode server was selected. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the attributes: * u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2019-02-09batman-adv: Add fragmentation mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can fragment unicast packets when the packet size exceeds the outgoing slave/hard-interface MTU. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_FRAGMENTATION_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add distributed_arp_table mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can use a distributed hash table to answer ARP requests without flooding the request through the whole mesh. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_DISTRIBUTED_ARP_TABLE_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add bridge_loop_avoidance mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can try to detect loops in the same mesh caused by (indirectly) bridged mesh/soft-interfaces of different nodes. Some of the loops can also be resolved without breaking the mesh. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_BRIDGE_LOOP_AVOIDANCE_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add bonding mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can use multiple slave/hard-interface ports at the same time to transport the traffic to other nodes. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_BONDING_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add ap_isolation mesh/vlan genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can drop messages between clients to implement a mesh-wide AP isolation. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH and BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_AP_ISOLATION_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature. This feature also requires that skbuff which should be handled as isolated are marked. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the mark/mask using the u32 attributes BATADV_ATTR_ISOLATION_MARK and BATADV_ATTR_ISOLATION_MASK.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add aggregated_ogms mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can delay OGM messages to aggregate different ogms together in a single OGM packet. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_AGGREGATED_OGMS_ENABLED attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Prepare framework for vlan genl configSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the VLANs on top of the mesh/soft-interface have configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the vlan specific commands BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the hard-interface specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIFS (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF) is reused as get command because it already allow sto dump the content of other information from the slave/hard-interface which are not yet configuration specific. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. The main objects for this configuration is the mesh/soft-interface object. Its actual object in memory already contains most of the available configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the mesh specific commands. The BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH_INFO (or short version BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH) is reused as get command because it already provides the content of other information from the mesh/soft-interface which are not yet configuration specific.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Change batman_adv.h license to MITSven Eckelmann
The ISC license is considered as not recommended in "Linux kernel licensing rules". It should only be used for existing code or for importing code from a different project with that license. But the kernel still has the similar sounding MIT/Expat license under the preferred licenses. Switching to this license for this relatively new file should therefore allow batman-adv to better follow the new licensing rules.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright headerSven Eckelmann
The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time.

2017-10-23batman-adv: use inline kernel-doc for uapi constantsSven Eckelmann
The enums of constants for netlink tends to become rather large over time. Documenting them is easier when the kernel-doc is actually next to constant and not in a different block above the enum. Also inline kernel-doc allows multi-paragraph description. This could be required to better document the netlink command types and the expected return values.

2016-07-04batman-adv: throughput meter implementationAntonio Quartulli
The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

2016-07-04batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-advMatthias Schiffer
debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel where files are dynamically added and removed (see http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware. Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be moved to netlink.
