With some carefully placed msleep()s/mdelay()s it can be reproduced easily. The issue is, that on interface removal, any still running worker thread of a forwarding packet will race with the interface purging routine to free a forwarding packet. Temporarily giving up a spin-lock to be able to sleep in the purging routine is not safe. Furthermore, there is a potential general protection fault not just for the purging side shown above, but also on the worker side: Temporarily removing a forw_packet from the according forw_{bcast,bat}_list will make it impossible for the purging routine to catch and cancel it. # How this patch tries to fix it: With this patch we split the queue purging into three steps: Step 1), removing forward packets from the queue of an interface and by that claim it as our responsibility to free. Step 2), we are either lucky to cancel a pending worker before it starts to run. Or if it is already running, we wait and let it do its thing, except two things: Through the claiming in step 1) we prevent workers from a) re-arming themselves. And b) prevent workers from freeing packets which we still hold in the interface purging routine. Finally, step 3, we are sure that no forwarding packets are pending or even running anymore on the interface to remove. We can then safely free the claimed forwarding packets.

2016-11-08batman-adv: additional checks for virtual interfaces on top of WiFiMarek Lindner
In a few situations batman-adv tries to determine whether a given interface is a WiFi interface to enable specific WiFi optimizations. If the interface batman-adv has been configured with is a virtual interface (e.g. VLAN) it would not be properly detected as WiFi interface and thus not benefit from the special WiFi treatment. This patch changes that by peeking under the hood whenever a virtual interface is in play.

2016-11-08batman-adv: Cache the type of wifi device for each hardifSven Eckelmann
batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be taken. The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits without imposing extra locking requirements.

2016-10-30batman-adv: Simple (re)broadcast avoidanceLinus Lüssing
With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided: * No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there is no node behind it. * Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back. * Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back. Goodies for BATMAN V: ("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!") Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2 packets, too. Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V.

2016-10-30batman-adv: Use own timer for multicast TT and TVLV updatesLinus Lüssing
Instead of latching onto the OGM period, this patch introduces a worker dedicated to multicast TT and TVLV updates. The reasoning is, that upon roaming especially the translation table should be updated timely to minimize connectivity issues. With BATMAN V, the idea is to greatly increase the OGM interval to reduce overhead. Unfortunately, right now this could lead to a bad user experience if multicast traffic is involved. Therefore this patch introduces a fixed 500ms update interval for multicast TT entries and the multicast TVLV.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm uses a different metric compared to its predecessor and for this reason the logic used to compute the best Gateway is also changed. This means that the GW selection class fed to this logic has a semantics that depends on the algorithm being used. Make the parsing and printing routine of the GW selection class routing algorithm specific. Each algorithm can now parse (and print) this value independently. If no API is provided by any algorithm, the default is to use the current mechanism of considering such value like an integer between 1 and 255.

2016-08-09batman-adv: Modify mesh_iface outside sysfs contextSven Eckelmann
The legacy sysfs interface to modify interfaces belonging to batman-adv is run inside a region holding s_lock. And to add a net_device, it has to also get the rtnl_lock. This is exactly the other way around than in other virtual net_devices and conflicts with netdevice notifier which executes inside rtnl_lock. The inverted lock situation is currently solved by executing the removal of netdevices via workqueue. The workqueue isn't executed inside rtnl_lock and thus can independently get the s_lock and the rtnl_lock. But this workaround fails when the netdevice notifier creates events in quick succession and the earlier triggered removal of a net_device isn't processed in the workqueue before the adding of the new netdevice (with same name) event is issued. Instead the legacy sysfs interface store events have to be enqueued in a workqueue to loose the s_lock. The worker is then free to get the required locks and the deadlock is avoided.

2016-06-30batman-adv: Add multicast optimization support for bridged setupsLinus Lüssing
With this patch we are finally able to support multicast optimizations in bridged setups, too. So far, if a bridge was added on top of a soft-interface (e.g. bat0) the batman-adv multicast optimizations needed to be disabled to avoid packetloss. Current Linux bridge implementations and API can now provide us with the so far missing information about interested but "remote" multicast receivers behind bridge ports. The Linux bridge performs the detection of remote participants interested in multicast packets with its own and mature so called IGMP and MLD snooping code and stores that in its database. With the new API provided by the bridge batman-adv can now simply hook into this database. We then reliably announce the gathered multicast listeners to other nodes through the batman-adv translation table. Additionally, the Linux bridge provides us with the information about whether an IGMP/MLD querier exists. If there is none then we need to disable multicast optimizations as we cannot learn about multicast listeners on external, bridged-in host then.

2016-05-10batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loopsSimon Wunderlich
There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that: A...(mesh1)...B | | (LAN1) (LAN2) | | C...(mesh2)...D Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily, these kind of loops can be detected. This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others handle that problem.

Instead add a batadv_softif_vlan pointer directly in batadv_tt_local_entry which will be used for the reference counter decremented on release of batadv_tt_local_entry.

2016-04-29batman-adv: B.A.T.M.A.N V - make sure iface is reactivated upon NETDEV_UP eventAntonio Quartulli
At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down once. This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation upon interface re-activation. Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
2016-02-29batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughputAntonio Quartulli
In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this case is used to iterate over all the neighbours). Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g. 100/10Mbps). The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent, this way it is possible to timely react to a metric variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour disconnection.

2016-02-29batman-adv: keep track of when unicast packets are sentAntonio Quartulli
To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour. For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced: 1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour; 2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is implemented. This function will simply update the member describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the real sending routine. Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast sending now has to use the new wrapper.

2016-02-29batman-adv: add throughput override attribute to hard_ifacesAntonio Quartulli
This attribute is exported to user space to disable the link throughput auto-detection by setting a fixed value. The throughput override value is used when batman-adv is computing the link throughput towards a neighbour. If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to detect the throughput by itself.

2016-02-29batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructureAntonio Quartulli
This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol (version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the newly added ELP. In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric information. In this version the protocol is in charge of the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP. This means being able to decouple the interval used by the neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

2016-02-29batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructureLinus Luessing
The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality information through the whole mesh. This procedure is summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in details in the RFC draft published in 2008. This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it also bears some drawbacks: * Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss, therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow a fast reaction on flaky connections. Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce overhead. * It generally is more desirable to detect local link quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of the mesh does not need to care about local link quality changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time. As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these link quality information and determining the overall path transmit qualities.
